I disagree with almost everything the "reviewer" said in her video.
I had no problems turning the Slick on - just press and hold the power switch for about 2 seconds.
She didn't seem to realize that the "Favorites" menu item added the current book to your Favorites list; it has nothing to do with bookmarks.
I also had no problems inserting or removing the SD card, and the Slick recognized it without a problem. From her description of having to "pry it out" and it not being recognized, it sounds like she put in it upside down.
Of course it's not a touch screen - it's a $90 reader!
I do agree with her that the "Jump to..." function would be more useful if it allowed jumping to a specific chapter (or even page), instead of a percent of the book.
I also agree that the calendar function isn't terribly useful. I'm not sure, however, how she expected to be able to input information into the calendar, since there is no keyboard!
I am so far not very impressed with the picture and video capabilities of the Slick. As I mentioned, it does a poor job of resizing images, and I haven't been able to get it to play a number of .AVI and .WMV videos that my Augen plays without any problems.
It's definitely a better eReader than the Augen, even with its limited page formatting. The decision on whether to keep it or return it will likely hinge on whether I can get the picture and video functions to work acceptably.
