An excellent product, I bought two. The screen is great, it doesn't tire your eyes (trust me, I used it shortly after getting laser eye surgery) and you can download many books at low or no cost. It is a blessing to read. Not comparable to reading on your phone or tablet, it is a completely different and improved experience.
