 Rating:  - "No longer in production" doesn't mean "not useful"First, let's address the issue of content for the REB 1200. Some reviewers mark down the reader because of a perceived lack of content. To my mind, this is akin to saying that a computer is useless because you can't find a specific software package for it. Rate the device on its own points; discuss the content issue separately.

Rating:  - This product is obsoleteDon't buy it. Gemstar went out of business and material cannot be purchased. Rating: - Great!, but.....Saw it in Staples and bought it for $100.

But what is needed, the ONLY thing that is needed, is a utility to convert .txt, .doc, and .pdf files into a form that this RCA1200 can read. Otherwise this is just the best thing simce sex, for congenital readers like me. Hack away, freaks, building the utility I spoke of will surely ... Read More Rating: - extinct deviceI own the REB 1200. The Gemstar ebook sites are no longer operating and it seems one can no longer buy content for the device. Shouldn't Amazon consider providing the disclaimer regarding the device's functional obsolescence? |
