Got my Cool-er from Argos last monday, was actually on way to waterstones to buy the Sony PRS-300, reading reviews on my phone and for some INSANE reason changed my mind, diverted to Argos and bought the Cool-ER.
Immediatly wasn't impressed with the build quality, but I'm careful with my toys so wasn't too worried.
On one hand, it is easy to use, and within minutes was ploughing through a novel. ADE was another story, as the device kept corrupting essential files for ADE every time it disconnected from the PC. Repeated installs of latest firmware (as per Intereads support) didn't help. 2 days later and the device wouldn't turn on at all.
Interreads support not overly helpful, so back to Argos and exchanged for another.
Worked great, updated to newest firmware with no problems, and ADE working fine (thanks to forum here I de-drm'd the epubs I'd bought anyway) but still not convinced.
I'm on my third book now, and still thinking I should have gone for the Sony.
If the device 'breaks' again it will be back to Argos for a refund for sure.
Anyone have comparative experience of both the Cool-ER and the Sony prs300?
