Customer Rating:
Summary: Dissappointed
Comment: Very dissappointed with product. Very difficult to setup an costly to setup. More cost efficient to purchase more expensive book readers after having to purchase all the additional items (i.e. MMC card (which is hard to find) and adapter. Also found books for this reader cost more money than the other readers.

Summary: Do not get it if using Windows Vista
Comment: This product is not compatable with Windows Vista. This was not made clear before purchase. I would feel that if it was not compatable with such a well used product it should have compatability on the ordering information.

Summary: This Is Crap Now
Comment: Service for this device stopped years ago. All of the Ebook services that it provides have abandoned it, so you can't get any books for it anyway. Waste of money, waste of time.
DON'T BUY THIS!!!!

Summary: I HATE this device!
Comment: This device is HORRIBLE. I HATE it with a passion and just wasted my money! Not only does the OS/Apps take a RIDICULOUS amount of memory on the ebookman, it only left me room for THREE ebooks after everything was said and done. Not to mention that I am having the hardest time finding an MMC that works with it. I can't find the lousy three ebooks once they were uploaded onto the machine and the WORST possible feature is that the batteries continue to drain even when the machine is OFF. So EVERY single time I have tried to use it I have to reboot everything, I lost all of my info including my OS/Apps, so they all had to be reuploaded EVERY TIME I HAVE TRIED TO USE IT! So what is the point of an on-off button????? And when I called Franklin when I was having problems with the stupid thing, they informed me that they had sold the product to another company and when I called THAT company all the guy could tell me was that if I wanted to send him my machine he would figure out what was wrong with it and send it back to me....umm yeah thats gonna happen! No wonders Franklin got rid of these pieces of junk!
