While I haven't had any problems with my Q7 (and flashed it many times), I have to agree that for novice users the OS on this thing is too cumbersome. If they shipped with WinCE 5.0 or above it would actually make the perfect eReader, although I'm not sure how good of a device it would be for web browsing.

I love it as an eBook reader. It definately blows my Nokia N770 Internet Tablet away just for the size. Still, this isn't the perfect LCD reading device yet. I do love my Q7, and it meets my expectations better than any LCD device so far, I can think of many improvements. I am interested in the Jointech J100 (is that the right one?) eBook reader that ships with WinCE and a 7" screen, although I hear the battery life on that device isn't too good.

I still think for price and features, this is still the best buy for LCD eBook reading at this time.
