    my daughter purchased this product in march/01 as a gift for me; had to return first purchased -- damaged; was forced to make subsequent returns trips to increased memory - all total, spent over $300 (because i was stupid enough to go for the mmc, an... xtra $100) for this handheld unit and being unwilling to part with the gift, i put it in the bottom drawer of my filing cabinet. it is only NOW (what, some 8 mos. later) that i can use the unit. they've erased most of the bugs so that my purchase is now valid. franklin now seems to be starting to live up to it's claims, but until i get all that WAS promised, i'll leave this at 2 stars for inconvenience and length of time in getting my daughter's money's worth. final word? i would only purchase this unit if i had the patience of a saint or if you're like me, a squirrel who has a problem letting go of bad nuts.

    I bought this because you can read books on it as well as use it as a PDA. When I changed batteries it lost everything in the memory. So everytime I changed the batteries, which don't last very long, I had to re-load everything from my PC. I took it ...back and exchanged it for a new one and it did the same thing.I took the second one back and bought a Sony which cost twice as much but is 10 times as good, plus I found that you can get software and download books for the SONY or any other device that uses PALM operating system. Do not buy the Franklin eBookman. Read more Less
