Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got this when it was first released in April. It helped replace a netbook I used to carry + the large eink screen was a bonus for the price. The initial firmware was somewhat rough but the device is now in its element - youtube works well, Opera runs well, and of course the e-reader along with the mark-up/annotation capability is just awesome.
Some good things about the device are as follows:
- Large eInk display means comfortable/stress-free reading of tech docs and books
- Excellent PDF and ePub support
- Large LCD display allows for comfortable web browsing and entertainment (youtube app, games, etc.)
- DataViz Docs to Go built in means Office documents can be read/updated easily
- SD slot means excellent expandability (I use a 16GB SD card with no issues)
- Wacom digitizer on the eInk screen means that books can be marked-up/annotated easily. Also, general note taking is supported on this screen as well
- Most Android apps supported (needs a hack, see below). I actually have the Amazon Kindle app on my device as well :)
- Excellent customer service. I have logged a few minor e-store questions and they always handled things quickly and professionally
Some minor compromises/criticisms that you should be aware of are as follows:
- no Android Marketplace on device (a problem with Android tablets generally). A workaround is to run the marketplace in the emulator and then side load the downloaded apps into the device
- Entourage also has a pretty good app marketplace of its own on its site
- supports wireless connections to routers only so far
- browsers are somewhat weak though Opera is very good. Still some sites show up in mobile mode, which can be a pain
All in all, I am very happy with my purchase. I love the ePub/PDF support, the large eInk display, and the overall design of the device. It is an excellent product in my humble opinion.
