This review is from: 7″ Sharper Image Literati Wireless 256MB Color eBook Reader w/SD Card Slot & Case (Electronics)
Yes, it malfunctioned slightly when I got it. But I realized that this common malfunction that is so redundant in reviews, (the screen going weird thus making the item unworkable) was only because upon initial use, the user did not fully charge the unit. I had gotten the same issue, so I plugged it back into the outlet and charged it as far as it would go. Then it worked fine. The firmware did have to be updated for the device to have all the good functions, and I found that you have to let it fully boot before you can plug it into your pc or there will be an issue. Many people take their criticism to far for devices that they buy (eg-the keys are too small, it feels cheap. not bright enough, not clear enough, etc) But think of the price you paid for it. Honestly, unless you are missing four fingers, you can operate the device. It is not so hard. Look at reviews before buying of course, but think of what you are getting for the price. It is a nice unit once you know how to use it, (not to mention having a tiny bit of brainpower.) Sorry if this seems harsh, but I don’t like people that post bad reviews because they are not intelligent enough to either get to know the unit or buy another kind that a chimp can operate.

This e-reader offers a color screen at a bargain-basement price. The real star of the hardware show here is the 7-inch color LCD screen. It’s bright and crisp, and with no problem reading on it for hours with the brightness turned down.
Navigating through a small library of books is easy enough, since they’re mostly arranged in vertical lists, or on virtual shelves where there covers are easy to see.
You can get up to 6 hours of reading time on a charge, with the Wi-Fi switched off most of the time.
One of the main draws of the color screen, of course, is the ability to read periodicals on the device.
And applaud the company for updating the Literati’s software regularly!

I didn’t know what to expect. This is my first ereader. Not bad for a new person. Once it was fully charged and I got all the essentials loaded on my computer,(Kobo, Barnes and Noble,etc) I was good to go. The only problen I seem to have is that it doesn’t hold a charge very long. Downloading each chapter draws the strength down rapidly. But for now I’m safisfied. When I grow up i’ll be back.(smile)
