Hi all-- My eFictionWise 1150 arrived this morning, and I have been fiddling with it ever since. Ten seconds after I got my Rocket out of its box, I was in love with it. If my first experience with a dedicated ebook reader had been an eFictionWise 1150, I would never have even tried to use a dedicated ebook reader again. It is nicely packaged. It feels good in the hand. The problem of having to point the down arrow to go up and the up arrow to go down has been remedied. BUT-- (1) There seem to be only two type sizes available, larger and smaller. Although the Rocket has the same built-in capacity, it also has a way to download other font sizes from the RocketLibrary. (2) With my vision problems, I need black on white. What I'm getting is grey-beige on white-grey-beige. The controls do not allow me to create black on white. I will be able to read the books in bed, because they are backlighted, but I'm not going to be able to do it without glasses, as I can the Rocket. (3) I still haven't figured out how to do most things. The biggest problem is that three of the four on-screen icons don't mean the same as they do on the Rocket. All kinds of pulldown menus are located in very illogical places. (4) I think I have figured out how to highlight passages, but not how to insert bookmarks. (5) The write-and-draw feature does not work. I have not checked out the keyboard yet, but it's pretty useless if I can't get back to the notes I have made. That's why I need bookmarks. (6) The method of downloading books is a total, utter, and complete nightmare. When I am downloading a Rocket or Microwave Reader from FictionWise.com, I pay for it and then I download it onto my screen and then, if it's a Rocket, I goes directly to the RocketLibrarian, which then asks me if I want to put it into the Rocket eBook reader. If I say yes, the job is done in a few seconds. If I say no, the file sits right there in my RocketLibrarian on my computer until I need it. If I want to import a personal file, from PG or any of several other sources, I make sure that I have saved it in .txt or .htm. Then I go into the Rocket Librarian, press a button and import the file, name the file, and then do exactly what I do for a book that is already .rb. Now, read the following eBookWise version of this task: I had put two ebooks in my eBookWise cart a couple of days ago, When I went back today and tried to buy them, the program didn't let me. Instead, it told me that I already had them. In order to try out capabilities, I picked out another ebook in which I was mildly interested and bought it. I had to jump through hoops to identify myself and my online "bookshelf." Then, in order to get it onto my eBookWise reader, I had to use a special heavy telephone cord to get it from the "bookshelf" to the reading device. Then I went to load one of my personal books onto the eBookWise. In order to do this, I had to go to my computer and then upload the file into my "bookshelf" online. This required me to jump through a few more hoops. I am allowed only 10 mg of "personal" stuff. Then I had to go back to the reader and play telephone games a while longer. I'll try it out again when the new program allowing USB uploads onto the eBookWise, and allowing the unlimited library that the Rocket allows, arrives. In the meantime, I'm using my Rocket. My own recommendation is that eBookWise take a VERY good look at a Rocket and then rewrite the abominable software for this device. I'm sorry. I wish I had better news. Anne
