A lot of the disapointment stems from the marketing hype - the things that the device will be able to do rather than can do have frustrated a lot of users on this board.

I agree that the device is a great piece of hardware engineering and it works really well for reading some documents ... although I like mine, I wouldn't use my own money to buy one at the current price and with the current level of support, those who would I fear are in the minority.

I agree with emkay that not having a specific features doesn't make a device a bad device ... but not selling products, for whatever reason, does make a company a failing company ...
