 - Do not get it if using Windows VistaThis product is not compatable with Windows Vista. This was not made clear before purchase. I would feel that if it was not compatable with such a well used product it should have compatability on the ordering information. Rating: - This Is Crap NowService for this device stopped years ago. All of the Ebook services that it provides have abandoned it, so you can't get any books for it anyway. Waste of money, waste of time. DON'T BUY THIS!!!! Rating: - I HATE this device!This device is HORRIBLE. I HATE it with a passion and just wasted my money! Not only does the OS/Apps take a RIDICULOUS amount of memory on the ebookman, it only left me room for THREE ebooks after everything was said and done. Not to mention that I am having the hardest time finding an MMC that works with it. I can't find the lousy three ebooks once they were uploaded onto the machine and the WORST possible feature is that the batteries continue to drain even when the machine is OFF. So EVERY single time I have tried to use it I have to reboot everything, I lost all of my info including my OS/Apps, so they all had to be reuploaded EVERY TIME I HAVE TRIED TO USE IT! So what is the point of an on-off button????? And when I called Franklin when I was having problems with the stupid thing, they informed me that they had sold the product to another company and when I called THAT company all the guy could tell me was that if I wanted to send him my machine he would figure out what was wrong with it and send it back to me....umm yeah thats gonna happen! No wonders Franklin got rid of these pieces of junk! Rating: - THIS WAS THE SINGLE WORST PURCHARSE I HAVE EVER MADE!This was a total waste of money, it never work , please do yourself a favor a stay away from Franklin EBM-900 eBookman. Rating: - Painful disappointmentI was so exicted to imagine that I could easily gather Gutenberg classic books, for free, and then read them anywhere. The eBookman was the answer, I was certain, for a webby person who was in danger of forgetting how to read more than one paragraph on a single topic. Sadly, the eBookman does not live up to expectations. Simply put, it is poorly built, poorly designed and very poorly supported. My eBookamn lived about 3 months before various buttons crushed in and the navagation wheel fell off. Long before then, the eBookman found reasons to crash during simple opperations like... turning it on... or uploading a book. As has been mentioned over and over, the batteries will die within a few days of installation whether you use the unit or not. Franklin did little to support its customers even during the eBookman's primetime, and now I shudder to think what users do if they encounter problems. My eBookman was laid to rest after less than 6 months of ownership when it no longer functioned in any form and Franklin failed to offer any significant help or restitution.
