Hi mikebliv
This is my first post to this forum. I have bought the stash ereader from OW because I wanted to see how the ereaders worked before committing to better models. It is very basic and the epub versions I have are free of DRM. It loses the odd letters off the right handside of the screen (see:
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...m/1458451.html) and it is not good for reading when there is lots of bright natural light -although it is good for night reading given that the screen is backlit. It also doesn't reflow pdfs, and although it supports pdf, it is very hard to read (maybe that was the pdf i was trying to read).
Unfortunately it doesn't support DRM versions and the only way to get these to work is to remove the DRM and reconvert using a program like calibre. I thought I was fairly tech savvy - until I read a post on how to remove DRM
The calibre conversion is easy though!! For an introduction to ereaders I like it, but will be wanting to upgrade to a e-ink version soon - just continuing my research into which model I should get.
