P.S. I'm more than happy with mine. Sure saves a lot of weight of books when we're out in the RV. I read a lot around the campfire in an evening, particularly at this time of year. LED flashlights to read by are easy on batteries.
Also since s-i-l captured about 2500 relatively recent books, from whence and how I didn't enquire, I haven't had to shell out a lot of money for what I'm reading.
