And it had a dollar store quality to it. Frankly, I think at $79 it is overpriced.

Since it was in demo mode I couldn't use it fully. The page turns were not fast on this particular model. The screen wasn't the best I've seen. I did think the background was slightly darker compared to the K3 next to it but that could be lighting effects. It's possible the unit wasn't functioning properly, though. Other functions seemed strangely tedious.

Checking the other ereaders on display, none seemed to function as intended. Not a good selling feature.
Gee, perhaps mine is defective since I have none of those problems. Mine cost more than $79 since I live in Mexico and had to get the model without ads, pay for shipping, and pay import duties but for me it was worth it.

So, obviously, I disagree but there is nothing respectful about my disagreeing with your rude and insulting post.
