Abstract: Its designers have done a good job with the Story, and despite some minor niggles it remains a flexible, comfortable reader that's easy to operate and offers a range of genuinely useful advantages. However, considering many people speculate that the r...
Slim; attractive build; range of additional features and format support; good battery life; good quality audio
Control layout may take a bit of getting used to; poor refresh rate; awkward to view some 'supported' formats; quite expensive, Rating:
The iRiver Story as an e-book reader is an impressive alternative to more established brands in this market, offering decent performance and support for a range of formats. Sadly, the extra features that suggest capabilities in a more business-oriente...
Pleasant design; lengthy battery life; good file-format compatibility; clear screen
No Wi-Fi; no touchscreen; no protective cover; some questionable features
Ever wanted a device that can let you read books, listen to music and record voice memos? Chances are you probably haven't. But, if you have, then the iriver Story may be the gadget for you. And, as it happens, it's actually a pretty good ebook reader...
Like the Kindle, the iRiver Story manages to stand out due to its QWERTY keyboard and also a handy SD card slot. You can fit roughly 25,000 books on a 32GB card, plus there's another 2GB built-in for any books or MP3s you want stashed on the device. T...

An attractive and sturdy device, the Story has more open format support, but the keyboard is almost redundant and it's not as easy to use or as good value as Amazon's Kindle. ...
Wide file compatibility, easy to use, expandable to 32GB for excellent music playback
Expensive, can be slow to load some files, zoom function is flawed
Compared to other devices on the market aside from the Kindle, the Story comes out near the top. File compatibility, battery life and music playback are all excellent - our only criticisms are that it can be a little slow at times and that it doesn't...
As first attempts go, the iRiver Story is merit-worthy, but it's got that unmistakable air of a work in progress. If iRiver's record in the MP3 player market is anything to go by it'll get it right sooner or later, but until then Sony's range of devices r...
With its speedy menus, decent built-in music player, strong battery life and handy ancillary features, the Story looks a winner, provided you're running the latest firmware. If you want Santa to stick an e-book reader under the Christmas tree this yea...
