The e-Reader supports a wide range of text (including PDF) and image formats, RSS feeds and MP3 music files. There's a 3.5mm jack for attaching headphones, which is good — but it's located on the bottom edge of the device rather than on the top edge, which would be more ergonomic.
The e-Reader has just 512MB of internal memory, but supports SD cards — there's a slot on the top edge, and you get a 1GB card in the box. PC connectivity is via USB, and you can filecopy e-books to the internal memory or the SD card.
The screen measures 6in. across the diagonal and uses E-Ink technology. It's clear and sharp, but offers only four greyscales and suffers from the same time lag when turning pages that blights all e-book readers. The 950mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 8,000 page turns.
