I have one. It's just great for photosites and books. Of course, i have a Kindle already so all of my ebooks are with Amazon now. I find it works just fine for browsing, email, reading, and videos. The print is borderline too small at times, but so far on the readable side. Even better, I can now do this stuff laying on the couch.
