Hello,
I purchased this eBook today, updated the firmware, this is my first Reader, the chap at waterstones was very helpful he even hooked up the reader to a power source so I could have a play about. I agree with edent and his review is excellent.
My only issue right now is I'm having problems reading a book (epub) that has embedded images bit of a bummer as its my first Reader. Basically when you turn the page that has an embedded image the reader just freezes the only button that works is the on/off switch. The work around I see is you have to "Jump" the page so I hope this book I bought (Stephen Kings Under the Dome) does not have too many images :/
The reason why Waterstones are selling this at a cheap price is because they are Borders old stock and they apparently went under around christmas. So Waterstones whipped them up at a cheap price. Not sure if Waterstones will re-stock these Elonex but time will tell.
Apart from the freezing, I quite like this device and has some cool features.
Sorry for opening this old thread.
Cheers
Darren
