I look at pictures and it's much nicer than many other readers. It's Calibre compatible and reads most formats. Everyone says that the screen is good too. So, what's wrong? Why is not very popular?

I would not say that its not popular, rather more that some of the mods of this forum don't think very highly of it.
Another issue is that it has not been around very long, it only came out this past July. So compared to the Kindle and Sony's it is not very well known by the wider population. On the bright side QVC had the Cool-er on this month which I think is a huge boost!
The intial firmware had some serious issues those appear to have been fixed and their support has been very good (I had to return my reader and they replaced it right away).
There is a thread in the Feedback area asking for a Cool-er forum:

Hopefully we will be getting a other e-ink devices area at the very least.
