Mine came from Buy.com, I'll see how long it lasts but it doesn't look promising from what I have been reading. I just hope it's still under warranty when it happens, then I'll just send it in and wait. Woot forums.

I'm VERY impressed. I've been looking for an eReader to replace my Palm device and this is an outstanding replacement. The clarity of the screen is superb and FBReader is excellent. It's VERY easy to just drag and drop documents to the memory chip (after you create a Books folder). In addition, it's a fine MP3 player (I think it actually sounds better than my iPod Nano) and surprisingly good as a movie player. Using TVersity and Canola, I'm streaming media in realtime from my Windows-based computer via WLAN. For $130, wadda deal! I picked up one of these from Woot and it arrived yesterday.
