The battery has good staying power - my only gripe is that sometimes when natural light is dim it could do with a back light - I have overcome this by purchasing a small clip on light which runs from battery. This is definitely a must for all book worms - it still makes me smile on the train when people are craning their necks to see what my book sized electrical device is!

BUT I'm struck by one huge advantage of these things (even though they don't seem to have the minimal circuitry to permit listening through earphones, which would make them even more attractive). When I travel, I take books with me. Anyone who is a book fiend will know how deadly this can be. One of these things - given a sufficient range of dictionaries, ref works, weird texts in odd languages etc - will reduce the strain and physical risks involved enormously for serial travellers, and allow the weight to be used more usefully for all kinds of contraband ;-) I haven’t tried any e-reader yet, and am leery of audio books although I like the idea, and find I resist using podcasts cos of the time they take compared to reading.

The display itself is impressive, but the time it took to load the front cover of a couple of the books I tried to look at wasn't - I had to go back to the device menu after about 30 seconds and then select the first chapter to overcome this I played with one of these briefly in the local Waterstones.
