Great product. Multi-language capability and expandable memory upto 32Gig caught my attention to this product and been enjoying it ever since. Would've been nice if there was button somewhere along the middle on the side to ease the page turning.

The one I've got was Irever Story HD 2GB e-reader with WiFi support.
It has a standard (pretty straight-forward) user interface which I personally find to be rather friendly and convenient.
WiFi works great within a couple of wireless networks I had a chance to try it with.
Battery seem to keep its charge for a very long time.
Although, it does have 2GB built in storage capacity, the OS reserves about 500MB for its system files so you will probably have around 1.5GB at your disposal.
The screen measures 6" on diagonal and is bright and contrast.
While the device itself seems to be built pretty tough and proved (in my case) to be relatively scratch resistant, getting a protective case might still be a good idea.
It has an ability to download and display PDF files which I think was one of the major improvements comparing to the previous generation of Iriver Story (and definitely very important to me).
Overall, it's a very nice e-reader for the money.

This is the original iRiver Story that was never available in the US. It doesn't have WiFi and doesn't have a touch screen. All movement is accomplished using arrow keys. There are small areas near the bottom of the device that you press to turn the page in either direction. You can turn pages on either the left or right. It saves your place when you leave the book, and has a search function.

It supports a number of ebook formats, .cbz comic book files, and mp3's.

Despite what it doesn't have, I enjoyed using it for the time that I had it. It's thin and light, the screen doesn't glare, and it interfaced very well through USB for music files. I was able to let Callibri do all of the work for ebooks.

I'm not sure what this item is, but it's not the Story HD. The Story HD was recently released. It's selling at Target for about $130 and is partnered with Google books.

This may be an older version or it may be a rip-off from third party vendors.

Be quite leery of this item. It does not have WiFi. I found the USB interface peculiar and flaky. Support at the 3rd party vendor (MYCVSTAR) said I had purchased a previous version of the reader. I returned item and am patiently waiting for my refund. Very disappointing, as I had purchased because of good reviews and attractive feature set including the supported file formats and SD memory.
