yes and no
I love my little eb1150, however that being said.
Its great for what it does, it is a sturdy little reader that is back lit and very reasonably priced.
Whats bad? You have to convert file types, this is not going to go away. If you don't want to have to bother, this is not the device for you. Its more or less easy to convert files for it, lit files convert well and rtf or html work just fine as well.
If you buy alot of multiformat books from fictionwise this is not an issue as they have .imp as one of the available formats.
I like mine, and I have bought a newer e-ink device because it is a bother with the newer drm'd books to have to convert all the time.
However, so far my little eb1150 has been very reliable, and with over a year of heavy use it is still working very well, which is more than I can say about my e-ink one which I have managed to break 2 times.
I think that for people who have researched the eb1150 and don't mind the limitations it has its a great device and you will find most of us that have one have very nice things to say about it. Its reliable, its not fancy or the newest, but its sturdy and it works, and it has a good support network, if you have problems people here and at ebookwise can usually give you ideas and suggestions for fixes.
