What kind of company is so damned desperate for press that they shoot themselves in the foot by giving reviewers DEVICES THAT DON'T WORK? And will *any* of these reviewers bother to do follow-ups? I doubt it! Caveat emptor! >>>“on one test machine, Adobe Digital Editions would not recognize my downloaded books, and therefore they could not go onto the Cool-er.”

You don't have to buy your books from their store, as they are any number of stores/libraries that you can acquire the content on. The more telling comments seems to be about the fit and finish of the hardware and software. Pogue’s comments about the lack of titles/pricing in the Coolerbook store completely misses the point.
