A good amount of the problems that orignal reviewers had with the Cool-er have been fixed with the firmware updates they released.

At this point the software is stable. The price is on the high side, I would agree. I think a price point of $200ish would be better.

The button issues are no worse than some of the other readers out there.

I would also say that many of the reviewers that did not like the Cool-er did not use ereaders on a regular basis. This seems to be a theme on a number of poor reviews that ereaders get in general is that the reviewer does not actually use a ereader regularly. While their opinion is valid, it is not necassarily what someone who is a heavy reader would agree with.
