Strongly Agree / Agree / Disagree / Strongly DisagreeOverall I found the eBook reader easy to use
I had some problems with the eReader
I enjoyed using the iPod Touch to read eBooks
I would have preferred to use another type of eReader
I would have preferred to use a PC/ Laptop to read eBooks
It would make no difference if the eReader screen was black and white
It is important that the device is pocket-sized
It is important that I can buy/ choose books without having to connect the device to a PC
