Interesting that you're the only one -there might be another and/or a few- that have reviewed the VuPoint Magic Wand. You're correct there's lots of negative reviews. Further, most reviews are old (from older models). I bought what I thought waa newer model ("no batteries"). The dock stuck, until I removed it several times. Also, the instruction manual had really small print. Eventually going to their site had me be able to read instructions. Amazon said it comes with a mico card (not so). In brief, lots of issues. Perhaps they have poor quality control. A friend has a different brand. had I known earlier, his model would have been purchased. I think it was an Epson, but can't remember. Thanks for taking the time to share. Lastly, I deem, but could be wrong, that VuPoint is a big seller cuz of advertising.
You are probably right on the advertising making them sell more. But yeah, quality control seems to be a huge problem with many of these Amazon-based brands.
