Us, it's Ariel.

0:15.9

And really?

0:17.1

Today we are doing something very exciting, new, special, groundbreaking, dare I say.

0:24.1

Yeah, we've never done this before.

0:25.7

We've never done this before.

0:26.7

We are doing a review of an e-reader.

0:41.7

This is in no way sponsored. This has nothing to do with the company. I saw one of my friends,

0:48.4

0:53.8

whoa, that looks really cool.

0:55.4

1:58.8

Yeah. So let's

2:00.7

jump in. Let me tell you a little

2:02.8

bit about this device. The books people. We're hiding it. Yep. So let's jump in.

2:18.9
