This device is HORRIBLE. I HATE it with a passion and just wasted my money! Not only does the OS/Apps take a RIDICULOUS amount of memory on the ebookman, it only left me room for THREE ebooks after everything was said and done. Not to mention that I am having the hardest time finding an MMC that works with it. from Amazon.com This was a total waste of money, it never work , please do yourself a favor a stay away from Franklin EBM-900 eBookman. from Amazon.com I was so exicted to imagine that I could easily gather Gutenberg classic books, for free, and then read them anywhere. The eBookman was the answer, I was certain, for a webby person who was in danger of forgetting how to read more than one paragraph on a single topic. Sadly, the eBookman does not live up to expectations. from Amazon.com I found just what I was looking for ay a great price! My purchase came quickly and I am very pleased with my Franklin E-Bookman! Now I can take my ebooks wherever I go! from Amazon.com The price is right for what it does and it does what it does well. I am very satisfied with this ebookman. The only possible improvement I can concieve would be to enable it to accept higher-capacity memory. from Amazon.com It is a nice device, but you get more from an iPAQ or a Palm plus you get the added benifit of starting with a lot more memory and being able to increase your memory using SD cards. The Franklin is supposed to use MMC cards to increase the memory, but I was unable to access books loaded on the MMC card to read on my Bookman without using the computer to transfer files. Not very convenient when you are on a plane or a train in Asia and want to read a book on the card. from Amazon.com I had the opportunity to try out the Franklin and the Sony ebook readers and was amazed to find that the Sony is a better overall product. I've always been a big fan of Franklin, but found this particular product to not be user friendly. from Amazon.com I bought the Ebookman for $40 a few years ago. The unit is just small enough to fit in a shirt pocket but large enough with 3 font sizes to read. from Amazon.com You cannot manage your files on MMC from within the EBM's OS. Who knows if Ectaco will ever release a new version of the OS. Otherwise I love my eBookMan, I use it all the time, it's my primary mobile library, and I am quite hesitant to look elsewere for a new PDA. from Amazon.com You cannot manage your files on MMC from within the EBM's OS.
