Please don’t buy this, the N518 is much better and the price on Amazon is vertually the same. Do youself a favour and go for the N518

Really, go for the younger model, or, if you are not happen to be chinese or wanting to read chinese, go for a Kindle. This thing is totallt overpriced for what you can get in comparison!
