CNET UK have published a review of the iriver Story Ebook reader with MP3 player. 'The display itself is extremely sharp and clear. It uses e-ink, which means that it's not only easy on the eye but easy on battery power too. The claimed battery life is up to 9,000 page turns, which translates into roughly one and a half copies of Herman Melville's Moby Dick to every full charge. There's no power adaptor in the box. Plugging the Story into a USB port is the only way to charge the device. Once connected, ebooks and other files can simply be dragged and dropped from your computer to the Story. It's a simple-enough process, although the Story lacks the Kindle's useful, shop-anywhere, Wi-Fi download capability.
