Why did you ditch it too quick? Did it not live to expectations, or was out-dated by cybook? This is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats#Supporting_Hardware" rel="nofollow">nice comparison</a> of all eBooks support for different file formats. I appreciate your support for open formats, and I bet it opens doors for different sellers of the same book. Where do you buy books from? And how is the experience compared to Kindle, with the DRM thing aside? I should note most people aren't getting my misfortunate battery issue. Shaymaa: Yeah I recall the Sony one.

I should note that this is kind of a special issue most people are not facing it seems. Perhaps a bad shipment of some sort. Even with that, I'm loving my Kindle, and given the current position Amazon holds, I would still go and buy a Kindle if I wanted an eBook Reader. I don't know a lot about the Samsung eBook Reader, or in fact nothing at all. But a good eBook reader I think should have: - good size to hold, like the Kindle 6". I didn't like Kindle XD size. - DRM FREE: It's much better if they sell their ebooks DRM free, Kindle doesn't ofcourse. - Battery life is important. - Note taking, bookmarks, built-in dictionary... all stuff in Kindle, make sure you get them with your eBook reader. - eBook Pricing. In general, Kindle has best pricing. See <a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aqs5mJKCnOoUdHVtRWFnVnpyX3pWVGxmclJsYkpqLXc&hl=en" rel="nofollow">this sheet</a>. Although it's prior to some publishers forced their prices up on Amazon. Bnsofts: As a man, a Kindle would be a perfect gift for me if I didn’t have one.

I was going to get a kindle possibly, but it seems to be having a lot of issues, and the features dont quite cut it.
