Pros: PDA features, Audible ready, expandable ready, better resolution than PDAs
Cons: Glare-prone screen, additional memory almost required for audio use
Bottom Line:
The ebookman is perfect for those who wants the cool gadgety-ness of an ebook, and still have the functionality. If you want the mp3 features, get more memory. Read More

Bottom Line:
Not quite ready for prime time, but offers fun and some real utility for early adopters. Synchronize early and often! Read More

Pros: USB connection to the net; large screen; quite versatile
Cons: incompatible with Microsoft Reader; short battery life; highly reflective screen; 8Mb memory; poor support
Bottom Line:
Despite attractive features and operation, a change to a less reflective screen would greatly benefit. Test one by all means, but you'll still find me at the bookstore browsing paperbacks. Read More

Pros: Very inexpensive, lots of basic PDA and ebook features, MP3 player, voice recorder.
Cons: Screen glare is terrible, backlight is almost useless
Bottom Line:
I would only recommend this unit if you can try it out and return it if dissatisfied with the screen quality; otherwise, look for something with better readability. Read More
