      I just jumped over and was about to buy this but I read through the reviews and it seems like:
      1) The disks have to be loaded initially onto a computer taking several hours.
      2) That a disk still needs to be in the machine to view pages/photos.
      3) That the pages are in a jpeg (low quality) format rather than a pdf/vectorized format.
      4) That there is no text search option (thus no ability to “find that article about ‘X’ that I remember” or to find articles relating to a certain subject, etc.
      5) That this probably wouldn’t good for people who are computer literate (or maybe a GenX/Millennial who are more innate with their computer usage).
      6) This was, however, enjoyed by people that are Baby Boomers so if Dad is one of those this may be just the right gift.
