It came with a charger, earphones, even a case! I think that for ?169, it was the best choice for me. I will know more after I try to download some books.

Congrats! I look forward to your comments on your experience. I am looking for a new reader for my son, and I am debatint the Jetbook.

I am also limited on how long I can hold an object. So I am considering all aspects of the ereaders, ie weight, font size, and I would love if I could find one that would do pdf's too. yes I know I want a lot, but since I am wishing I want world peace too.

Peace first! Then a little possible help for holding a book. I know this might sound bizarre, but as a dental hygienist I have the pleasure of finding solutions for many of my patients' troble holding toothbrushes, floss, etc. and sometimes daily living solutions as well. For those with arthritis, missing limbs, etc. we have decided that using a clothes hanger with the 2 clips is a great find (it also is great for holding open a cookbook page if you clip the book and then hang the hanger over your cabinet hardware knob). I guess it depends on your body position when reading, but you can clip the ebook reader cover on the hanger and it does help with the hands-free.
