Hubby called it the Porsche of ereaders, old, distinguished and gorgeous.

Their x50 line was really good as far as hardware. FW and syncing was lacking. I wish I had kept my 950. I really miss being able to read in landscape using two columns on that 7" screen. Unfortunately the 7" screens never caught on well enough for Amazon or Nook to build one. The only real issue was with the IR touchscreen that would go nuts if anything touched it. Occasionally my shirt tail would make contact and I would lose my place in the book as it rapidly paged forward or backward dozens of pages!
