I would have to disagree with the previous review. Though it has it's own format, it does read Word, RTF, Text and Adobe Acrobat also. I haven't seen a website that offers best sellers or any other kind of book that does not offer at least one of the formats. Backlighting would be a plus as would be more ergonomic page buttons, but other than that I have no complaints. The battery is long lasting and the reader holds a large quantity of books.

If you like to read you should buy this product. I carry it in my purse all the time. On trips it is so convenient to have many books to read while traveling.

I WAS GENERALLY PLEASED WITH THE SHIPPING PROCESS, BUT THE ACTUAL DEVICE FELL SHORT OF MY EXPECTATIONS. IT HAPPENED NOT TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE MAJOR ON LINE E-BOOKS THAT I PURCHASE ,THE CURRENT FICTIONS, ESPECIALLY THE LIMITED AFRICAN-AMERICAN AUTHORS. THE AVAILABLE E-BOOK SITE AS RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT A "FIT" WITH WHAT I READ. MY FINAL DECISION TO KEEP THE READER WAS TOTALLY BASED ON THE AVAILABLITY OF CLASSIC NOVELS THAT MY TEENAGER IS REQUIRED TO READ FOR SCHOOL, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE WITHOUT A DOUBT RETURNED THE PRODUCT...FIRST CLASS , SAME DAY SERVICE!!!!!!!
