Greetings from Bali. We absolutely love our Aluratek Digital eBook Reader. It's been indispensable for us while living abroad where good English reads are pricey and hard to find. It's an excellent alternative to the higher priced big name brands (which often claim will not work outside the US). It survived our 12,000 mile/30+ hour trip...all on a single charge. The 100 free books included are a decent selection, and made a nice start to our library. The wide variety of formats recognized by the device make it easy for us to find books from thousands of sources on the web. There's no need for complicated conversion software or expensive download fees. We were a little apprehensive about the 5" screen, but it turned out to be the perfect size for our needs. A larger color screen would be more appropriate for those primarily reading digital periodicals, but for take-anywhere, carefree, paperback style reading we couldn't ask for a better device. The standard USB plug does away with the need for bulky power adapters and travel converters, allowing charges from any desktop, laptop, or public charging station. We've yet to test the waterproof to 15' claims, but is has survived our kids, a spill, some rain, and a couple falls. The price is the best feature, and our only regret is not buying another while we were back stateside.
