Has anyone tried this? My wife got one for Christmas and I love it. I like to take a book with me when I backpack and I thought this would be perfect. About 6 ounces and you can carry 1000's of books with you (or you can just download new books when you're on the trail). The battery is supposed to last a month if you keep the wi-fi off. I'm not much on electronic devices on the trail, but along with my watch this might be a second one I take when I finally do a thru. I just would make sure I didn't upload a newspaper because one reason to get on the trail for me is to get away from the news.
