I like the read to me feature, it can be quite funny when it mispronounces words though.

An electronic book, it holds up to 1500 book, magazines or newspapers and it's as thin as a pencil and it is just awesome!

Depends on how large you have the type set. The smaller typeface will be just about a full page. My old eyes need it set to where it's about a half page. You click a button to move on to the next page (segment, whatever) and it only takes a nanosecond to change. I tend to flip back through the book to re-read something, and it hasn't been a problem.
