- Good points:
- its pretty easy to use, is light wieght and small enough to fit into a handbag. it doesn't take too long to load up and page turns are very quick.
- Bad points:
- there seems to be an issue with adobe digital reader, which is the computer program you use to upload books onto the reader, although it says you can activate your e-book to up to 5 different computers, this isn't really the case, if you activate your e-book to a different computer and upload books from that computer you can only read books from that computer, you have to re-activate your book to each computer that you have uploaded from to read books from those ccomputers. But your only aloud so many re-activations before you get locked out of your book! even if the activations are to the same computers each time!! it takes up to 2 weeks to get your book unlocked by adobe! but this is a software issue with adobe not the e-reader, unfortunately its the only software you can use!! if you stick to just one computer to upload books then you have no problems!!

- Good points:
- Looks good, feels good, easy to use, carry it everywhare
- Bad points:
- at first I couldn't down load book. went on chat forum to find out what to do because cooler had no advice. Solved problem by defaulting back to factory settings. You do this by pressing all your buttons for a few seconds each.

Manufacturer's Description
The COOL-ER uses E-Ink®, a new technology that gives you a screen with a “like paper” display, replicating the experience of reading a paper book. Using power only for “button clicks” means that a single charge can last for up to 8000 pages and unlike a book, the electronic display allows you to change the text size to suit you!
