(More customer reviews)I bought a Shift3 Lookbook Wireless Reader for a friend as a Christmas gift. I played around with it to make sure it worked properly and to set up the account (she is NOT computer literate). I found it easy to operate and the bundled package I bought came with a leather case and 150 free books (with access to over 2 million books). I don't know where in the world this $240 price is coming from - I bought mine on sale at CVS Pharmacy for $128.just before Christmas. Their regular price was only $148. I can't believe this price of $240!! Plus, the LookBook is in Color!
The LookBook is very easy to use - downloading books is easy as well. I also purchased a book through the website just to see how the process went - it was flawless. The couple of times that I've encountered something I could not do or didn't understand - I received immediate help. I've almost decided to either keep this one or to buy another one for myself if I can find it on sale again. But, I would never pay this price for one.
One thing I especially love is that wherever you leave off reading a book - it puts a "bookmark" at the spot. So, when you open that particular book again - you go right to your bookmark. The page turners (arrow left-arrow right) are so easy and quick and responsive. Downloads are fast and simple then you just hit the "sync" button and they are very quickly downloaded into your reader.
The one negative about the LookBook reader is this - the directional arrows (for moving around the screen) are located surrounding a very small button on the bottom right of the lower panel. The "left, right, up down" directional arrow funtion is on a raised, VERY narrow circle around the "enter" button in the center. All of these are just way too small. I have small fingers so I can manage it with very little problem, but for anyone else - I think it would be a real nuisance for anyone with larger hands.
Other than this feature - I find the lookbook easy to use and the contrast is great. You can download via the website or via the built in "store" option. Hope this helps someone deide whether or not to buy this product. Just don't pay this price for it!!! I'm sure you can find it much cheaper.
