I also have to disagree. I have a Rocket ebook 1100 - one of the first ebooks that came out if I recall correctly. I use it daily to read. The print is clear, it is the same size/shape as a paperback and I can easily add new books. I have an elibrary of several hundred books - both free and bought. Yes, it has a limited format (.rb) but the software to convert to the format is quite easy. Some sites (Baen.com, for example) have thier books available in rb already.
My issues with the newer models - too expensive for the average person and not being backlit! I LOVE being able to read my REB in bed at night or in the car without disturbing my partner!
