My first impression of the device was very good, I had a cheap Sandisk and wanted a more sophisticated model. My conclusion: The Zen indeed does have its advantages (large display, much more presentable ...) but somehow I take the device only at home and always with the Sandisk into the open air or in the holidays. The key negative point during ZEN is namely the term !!! As soon as the battery makes flabby, you can not find an outlet for charging. Add to this that the ZEN even when switched off loses charging power and the device is not available to hire. Because the already repeatedly readable fact: sometimes you need a reset (have therefore attached to my harness a staple in order to solve this problem quickly.) Actually, I'd love to give 2.5 points, since 3 is to me almost too much, but 2 are also too little. It's no wonder that the price gives way now. My cheap Sandisk is better.
