1.0 out of 5 stars Ebookman EBM-900 Franklin, July 6, 2006

By	Doris L. Ainsworth - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am not happy with this Ebookman. I bought it new and it was already obsolete. The mobipocket had V4.3 and to use it it required V4.8. I e-mailed customer service several times and followed their instructions but to no avail. I talked with Tech over the phone but they were still not able to get it running correctly. I wish I had never heard of Franklin Ebookman. All it was was one BIG headache.

1.0 out of 5 stars save your money, January 9, 2007

By	M. Rodriguez - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this basically for downloading and reading ebooks. It is not very user friendly and took and very long time to successfully download a book. But the worst part was that it does not have a back-light on the screen. So the screen is light gray and the words are light black. After 2 hours of reading an ebook I had an extreme headache due to eye strain! If they had given this device a back-light or changed the phont color it would be useable , but as it is I'm now looking for a new one to buy.
