Also, device would lock up once every couple days. After I asked for an RMA to return it, ironically, support would return ALL my emails within a day or less. Probably growing pains more than anything. Their web site never once worked for me to buy books within the 1st 3 months of the item shipping (also reported many times to them). The unit itself is the lightest among Sony and Kindle (I have both), and it was more fun to use it for reading than the other two. I liked the folder approach to organizing books, which meant I could use as many categories and subcategories as I wanted to. Kindle is the worst among these three in terms of organizing several hundred books on a device at the same time, Cooler was the best.
