It does what I want a reader to do--store and display books--and nothing else. That's what I like about it. The Kindle is designed to make it as easy as possible to buy from Amazon; that's its main reason for existence. Amazon even discourages you from getting your ebooks elsewhere, by making you send them to Amazon to be converted. There's none of that nonsense with the Opus--you just plug it in and add the books you want.It's a nice little machine (the ads don't really give you an idea how little it is--it's slightly larger than a frozen waffle). The display is quite readable, and the interface, though a little odd at first, is quite easy to work with. I give it four stars because it does have a tendency to freeze at inconvenient moments; for another alternative to the Kindle hegemony, I'd suggest a BeBook, which is also very simple and reasonably priced, or a Sony reader (but only if you have a PC).
