I had 2 Cool-ers, both of which died within 10 days. I liked the device itself, when it worked, but 2 faulty ones (with no attempt at troubleshooting from their support) made me think this product isn’t worth the money. Add to that the hassle of dealing with overseas returns and it wasn’t worth it.
I bought a Sony Pocket reader at my local Sony store, and I think it is a much superior product. It was cheaper too.
