Anyone use this (for e-books)?? If so, thoughts on it?

Had to look it up, never heard of this.  The review said they liked how comfortable it is to hold it one hand with it's textured back and it performed nicely for a no frills e-reader.  Good apparently: thin and easy to hold with one hand, epub book support so you get borrow books from library, touch screen, responsive, holds more books than you will ever be able to read.  Bad: e-ink is not the latest such as on Kindle and Nook, no screen saver and reviewer said there was burn in on screen though not very noticeable, no frills so no: internet, 3G, or color as on the Nook color.  I have the latest generation Kindle with 3G, but sometime this year I will be purchasing a Nook color.  It's like a poor man's ipad with apps, internet, and reading books.  Epub is the main reason I want to switch to Nook as I'm tired of having to buy books when Nook users can just electronically borrow a book from the library.

I just started using it and I really like it. I have only downloaded the free ebooks so far but I really like the app. I will start purchasing books.
