The Sharper Image Literati Wireless Reader
I was in the market for an ereader, and after spending days researching them, I found that no matter which one I researched, they all had idiosyncrasies.  For the amount that some of them cost, it just wasn't worth it to have to put up with some of the problems people reported having. So, when I saw this ereader in a franchise housewares store clearanced for $40 (& only $34 because I had a 20% off coupon--and that includes the case) it seemed too good to be true.  And guess what? It was too good to be true.
