Wired Cool-er e-reader review. In summary they hate it

Full review here: http://www.wired.com/reviews/product/pr_cooler

Snippet below.

WIRED Candy colors. Initial cost of admission cheaper than competitors. Support for open formats. Battery life is good for a fortnight.

TIRED Flimsy buttons. Plasticky-construction. Overpriced e-book store. Tacky user interfaced. No auto-sleep mode. No WiFi. No access to newspapers, blogs or magazines.


I don't know about you but I do not view wi-fi on an dedicated e-reader as a deal-breaker. Ditto blogs / newspapers
