I have just tried playing music on the reader. It works pretty well. Jut select an mp3 in the shelf and the music player opens. The interface is nice. Once the music is playing just go back to the bookshelf, return to your book and start reading. With the right ambiant music, this can be quite pleasant. The music I just tried, Wardruna, would be perfect for a fantasy book. I need something different for the Sci-Fi novel I'm reading.

The only thing missing is a shortcut to go back to the music player from your current book. As far as I can see you need to return to the bookshelf first.
I'll see how long the battery last while playing music. I can't comment on the sound quality as my good earphones have been stolen.

Wallcraft, interesting that that you mention hyphenation as it is one of the irritating things about the book I'm reading: hyphens are breaking words in weird places quite often. It's an FB2 file from manybooks.net.
Is hyphenation dependent on the file format? If so, which format(s) will support proper hyphenation for French and English?

I don't have a video camera so I won't do a demo of the reader, sorry.
