Anyone have any info or feedback on this?

I saw that too on QVC and was wondering. It's today special and it does multiple things. I was going to see if Cnet had anything on it or google it for reviews.

I've read that at BJ Wholsale online they have them for $150 or so. It looks like it's a ereader/tablet wanna be. When a gadget tries to do more than one thing, it loses something. This company is not as known as some of the others and it's not Apple.

It looks like the reviews are poor. I think I'll stick with getting the Kindle 3.

Thank you, I feel better now. I saw that item last night, and REALLY wanted it -- but there's no way we have the money for it right now -- and now I feel better about not being able to get it! I find that QVC often has some really good products as their TSV, but sometimes, especially on the tech stuff, I feel like they're playing into people who really know nothing about the product or the price (computers TSVs come to mind -- I haven't seen one that is really a good value, either on product quality or price).

Looking for an ereader for wifey's xmas present. Gonna pass on this. It looks like it reads like a computer screen and not very pleasant on the eyes after a while.

I've been looking at this one too. Once I found out it is backlit, I decided to stick with getting a Kindle. I already have to spend quite a bit of time looking at a computer screen at work so I definitely want something for recreational reading that will be easier on my eyes.

Thanks for all the input....I'm gonna pass and either get the kindle or nook!!!

I saw it too, and was debating on buying it. I realized that I also need 3G, so that I can use it anywhere, so I will wait too see what they come out with later on.

I have one and love it. Not only is it an ereader, which, by the way, is very easy to use, but it can hold my pictures and I can use the net if needed. I also read the reviews, which all sounded bad, before I bought it, but the deal I got at Kohl's was too hard to pass up and I am so glad I didn't pass it up. I love the fact that it is backlit, I can read in the dark. The screen does not hurt my eyes like a computer screen since there is no color on the pages of the book. I don't have any problems with the screen being non responsive. The only problem I have with it is the battery life. I think the kindles and nooks are better in this dept.

That does have this product. ( I just ordered it today) Are you able to use it outside like the kindle and still see.
