  • It was made by the people who made the device, so compatibility and handling of file transfers is meant to be guaranteed.
Does the reader have a clock?!? Or do you mean timestamps on the files?

I guess audio and images are interesting to some people. I haven't used either yet, and the notes function does seem like it is worth it (although some people here are working on a replacement, and there seems to be a dramatic limit on highlighting).

The rest doesn't seem all that compelling. I guess if it worked well, like, say, iTunes, it would be a first choice. Right now I am trying to avoid it. Doing some things manually isn't such a big deal, since I am not reading at a breakneck pace... ;-)

Thanks for the response!
