The Reader can also play MP3 and ACC audio files as well as PDF and Microsoft Word files.
Reviews
CNET appreciated the lightweight design and good battery life, but felt the unit was a bit sluggish and lacked support for audio books. PC Magazine also liked the sleek design but was turned off by the slow performance and difficulty navigating the interface.
