My expectations were not disappointed: Small, light and easy to handle - ergonomic operation via buttons and touch screen, clear, bright display without gradients. Good service from the home page (eg firmware update - easy to handle). Whether to scan (more of a gimmick for emergencies) takes the camera and several small programs, one can argue. Anyway, for the very purpose of the device, among other things by large memory, fast processor and advanced service management (eg font scaling via gestures) mE is well equipped, also because almost all available eBook / document formats (more than other similar devices) - Except in the special Amazon Kindle format - be accepted. To me it was worth the higher price. The activate and manage Adobe DRM protected ebooks with Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 very easy to accomplish. The transfer of EBook-inventory of my old eReaders was completed without errors in a short time.
PS. 25/01/2015 Adobe Digital Editions is now running as V.4 - continue smoothly. The recently published Firmware 5.5.483 has not only solved all the errors that I had registered with the service brought (always very quick and correct operation), but also meaningful improvements. My expectations are now exceeded. By the way: My display shows sharp writing (it should also give erratic readings). "Matter of opinion" it, whether you like the not very black mark on slightly toned background is (coming for me the print image close) or the hard contrast ratio of comparable competitors prefers. 03/29/2015 About once a month appears enhanced firmware - The company takes care of eager to promote their products.
