  • The Connect software tries hard to present an 'iTunes-like' interface, but completely misses the richness of sorting, viewing, and file management options. Most notably the ability to find and manage the underlying data files (e.g. the books).
On the plus side, it does talk to the reader. I suppose that it also provides a usable reader emulation for checking out books I'm making... but I've not been doing that when I'm at my sister's place, so I haven't seen that feature in action.

Overall, I guess I'd say that the biggest problems with the connect software are really problems with the connect store. Other than the 'no-where but Windows' thing, of course.
