Advantages: Compact

Disadvantages: Clumsy, waste of energy

I saw this and thought it was a great idea and had some expectations for it. I was quite happy to use this but then realised what was missing- too much. WHilst it does contain 100 classic books, it is clumsy to navigate and would be so much easier if i had the book in paper form!

Whilst it is great that it contains so many books in a small format, the content contained in one "page" is too little, and adjusting font size does not aid this much, thus creating over 1000s of pages per book, making it diffiult to go staight to a page and navigate.

The menus are easy to control and are very simple, it is like a long bookshelf which you can scroll with your stylus, pick the book you want and start flicking the pages after you've read them!

Personally, i wouldn't bother with this anymore, and would not recommend unless you are an "on the go" person which this would greatly benefit. Also, it doess not have a read aloud feature which would greatly make this a great application.

The books included are a great selection and I can't wait to see what else they come up with, hopefully improving on the features it lacks.

You can get this for under £20 at major games stores and online! if this is for you, get it!

Summary: It is not worth the hassle or the money
