Works well for what it was designed for: an eReader : The Sharper Image Literati 7-in. eReader
This is my fourth and hopefully my final update.
I've gotten comments back that I must work for Sharper Image, which I don't. But I think if you go to the websites in my third comment, you'll find your eReader.
Right now I think the Nook Color is the best value if you want color and are willing to spend around $250. The Literati, which some stores sell for $250 is no where near the capability and value of a Nook Color at that price. If you factor in the future capabilities, the Nook Color is a far better value even at $250. You can run the latest Android system 3.0 on it and also keep it as a full Nook eReader. It'a like having two machines in one. That makes it worth the higher cost.
The Literati, is good for one thing only, an eReader, period. Also, just comparing the Nook Color and the Literati as eReaders, I believe the Nook color wins again, with better screen resolution, web browser, capacitive touch screen, sound, and other built-in features, etc.
It looks like the Literati is fading away, but as an eReader you'll always be able to use it for that purpose.
The Nook color is the direction that eReaders are going with Android 3.0, the next step is a color "ink" system which will work like the "e-ink" systems out there now like Kindle. Without the glare of the sun on the screen these new "color" ink systems will become the standard for both indoor and outdoor reading use.
_________________________________________
This is my third update.
It not really about the Literati directly as I think it's a great deal for the money, but about websites that have good information/software and comparsions so you can make up your own decision.
Amazon doesn't let you put the full addresses here, but this should help you find them if you search the internet for the following:
"mobileread", "calibre-ebook" and "the-ebook-reader" Do your searches and you'll be able learn what's available and forums you can discuss ebooks/ereaders on.
------------------------------------
This is my second update. I shouldn't had been so negative in my first review update. Although it's true that Borders may go bankrupt, Kobo may not since its Canadian. Even if you couldn't get books through Kobo, you still can upload any ePub or PDF books to the unit using software like Calibre and another called Stanza (which I just found out about)or just through Windows itself as it sees both the Literati and SD card in explorer. Even if they stop selling/making them you'll still be able to use it as long as it is functioning. So at the price they're selling them at, get two and keep one for insurance of breakage. You'll be able to use it as long as it's functioning.
_____________________________________________________________________
I'm updating my review, not because any issues with the Literati, but because you should know that Kobo/Borders is going under so you may not be able to get ebooks directly for your Literati.
Either search the internet for stories on Borders going backrupt or if they allow this go here:
[...]
Kindle is probably the long term solution if this happens.

I got couple of white Literati eReader from Kohls on sale last week for just about $[...] each with discounts including taxes. They were only two units so I bought both one for my wife and one for me. You could see that one them was either returned/used, while the other was brand new. I would have passed on the used one but I didn't think they would be getting more of them at the selling price of $69.99. It appeared to be a close out of their left over XMAS sales stock. During XMAS there was a lot of activity on eReaders and they always seemed to be more that $[...] depending on the brand.
I didn't know much about eReaders in general or the Literati. Everyone I talked to said get a Kindle but they were in the $150 range and didn't have color so the Literati seemed to be a good deal. I normally research before I buy, but I didn't in this case. After I bought it then I researched them and found in general that most reviewers didn't like them and basically said stay away from Literati eReaders.
I decided give it a try and searched on the internet for "free" ebooks. I found a lot, both in ePub format and in PDF format. I already had a lot of documents in PDF format, so I thought the Literati would work well to read them. While you can read PDF documents, PDF format by nature really isn't a good way to read them on the Literati to take advantage of the eReader capabilities. Now ePub format is what I believe what the Literati and eReaders in general are designed to work well with. They format to fit within the screen size and you can adjust the text size easily. PDF's on the other hand are good for large computer screens but don't format well in the smaller screen sizes. With PDF's, after you get the text to a readable size the document scrolls off the screen and you have to use the pad to move the document to read it. Not really what the eReader was designed for. EPub format documents are the way to go and that's the format that Kobo and other sell their books in.
I loaded up an 8 GB SD card with PDF documents I had, and by doing so I overloaded the Literati. The Literati's memory, I guess keeps a database of the documents and there were too many documents to list for the memory it has. I maxed out the 210 MB (with ver 2.0 of the firmware update) it had available. I couldn't add anymore PDF documents or ebooks. It left me no choice but to reset it to start over again using less PDF documents. However, the Literati, would not reset and clear the system used the built in function. Called the help desk both at Kobo and the equipment manufacturer and they were no help. The Literati was stuck saying it was full of documents that I didn't want and couldn't delete. I even tried deleting the files in the memory attached to a PC and there was an error when I tried to delete them. It wouldn't allow any erasures. I was stuck and Kobo's recommendation was to return the unit and get another one. Since I didn't think there was any more left at Kohls that just meant I would return it and get my money back, but get no reader in return.
I didn't want to do that and I thought that there must be a way to restore the firmware again another way. Sure enough, the
[...]
board had a link to the [...] file and they said that the firmware can be loaded from an SD Card by holding down "Q" while powering on. I tried it and it worked!!
You can download v1.9 of the Literati or Lookbook firmware from - [...], and save the file to an SD card then the firmware can be loaded from an SD Card by holding down "Q" while powering on.
The Literati was now working again only now back to firmware ver 1.9. As soon as I restarted and had WIFI access, it automatically found that there was an update (2.0) and asked if I wanted to update, which I did.
Everything is working again. They knock the Literati, because it doesn't do more, like the Android models like Cruz and Pandigital. While they have come down in price to about $[...], and are more than an eReader. I think the Literati does its function well. It sized to fit comfortably in your hand and works well as an eReader for ePub documents. If you don't need all the other capabilities the other have, which may or may not work well at anyway, and eReading is all you want to do then Literati seems to fit the bill.
The following board:

helped me and should help others if they screw up their Literati like I did. I got it back to normal and it works fine as an eReader.
I also recommend using the "calibre" software for your ebooks management. You can use the following link to get to it:
[...]
My only real knock so far is the pad to move around is real tiny for your fingers.
I'll be testing it out more now that I have it setup and installed over 150 additional free books, in ePub format, that I got from the internet. (These are not the same 150 books that they offer with the unit which are classics, but are current popular books from Clancy, Paterson, Christy, etc.)
I'll update if the units go south. I guess you get what you pay for.
