Actually I'm now thinking about buying the older model as it has no touchscreen and supports a similar variety of file formats ^^. The firmware of the iRiver Story is also more stable than the recent Cover Story's. What is really haunting this reader from becoming sucessful is the touchlayer which decreases contrast and sucks up battery life. I was actually thinking about removing the touchlayer myself but I'd have to rewrite the application but the original firmware does not allow touch button navigation yet. Fortunately iRiver's firmware is opensource!
