Its an Ereader with E-ink - I know resistive screens aren't great but you can turn the pages using the flippy bit on the side and it supports ePub, PDF, TXT, and ZIP.......

Urm thats it really

    With e-Readers you get what you pay for, especially if you buy cheap tat! For twice that price you can get a standard Kindle which is actually usable - far better screen, MUCH MUCH battery life, more durable etc. And yes, the Kindle DOES support drag-and-drop ebooks with no tinkering required.


    Thanks, you have literally owned my eyes. Here on this site where I came to get advice on saving money you have shared your wisdom - in fact we should all spend twice as much and we'll get better things. I'd never have guessed- better seats at the opera, business class on the plane, better rooms in hotels etc - all you have to do is spend just twice the money!

    You are so right - a BMW is a better car than a Ford and costs about twice as much! Amazing. This is a complete game changer for HUKD. Star.

    Own this. Bought it when water stones were having their sale.

    It's great especially if you want to use it for comics. Loads of nice wee features, you can add notes to text, doodle, supports loads of files and it will even play music and audio books of an sd card if you want it to

    Depends which model of kindle.

    But the reason I opted for this over the kindle was that out of the box this will read epubs (as well as virtually every other ebook file). With kindle you have to get your ebooks off amazon.

    The only down side I've found with this is when the cover is on the front the magnet's quite weak so it can become displaced quite easily, als it's not the most responsive but it's not that noticeable when reading a book .

    Like I said I love mine so I may not be the best person to advise you, but this is a nice alternative to most models of the kindle and while it may not have as good a screen, it makes up for it in many other ways, namely that you can get books from your library on this for free. :)

    5hrs is plenty of time most laptops are only 3hrs !

    That is for recording, but it is 100g heavier than a Kobo touch.

    So it weighs 2 mars bars more ... not much to worry about

    good review here, it has good pdf support with reflow text and ability to change the margins to remove white space borders. also supports cbr/cbz comic book format. here you can find another review and photos of the features in use.

    iRiver claim the Cover Story battery will give you 11,000 page turns and in the past we've used E Ink devices for around 3 weeks on a single charge. Listening to music will dramatically shorten this lifespan. Charging takes 5 hours.

    So all the book I have from amazon, would I need to mess about converting them?

    Cheers op, ordered and heat added. My mum wanted something like a Kindle for her Birthday/Christmas, so this will do the job nicely. Also includes a Proporta protective folio case, so I won't have to buy one for her. :)
