I was wondering if these videos were already posted. I found them on Youtube:

I think that the mangas are quite readable though, but I really dislike the white plastic aspect. Why couldn't they use a more inspiring colour? The design and e-ink display are going to be the same for V2.

You can easily find a video about the e-ink technology on Youtube too. German language skills recommended :scholar:

Hmmm... I think I missed those before. Kind of enjoyed it. It gives you a feel for the delay in the buttons and the page changes. The guy using it seemed to not really know whether his button pushes had registered, which I guess is worse than the wait itself. But maybe not too bad if you are just turning pages sequentially in a book.

Still.... zippier is better.

The guy in the vid seems pretty clueless anyway...:-)

I can't understand the dialogue, but it's really funny to watch...^^

I noticed the red light blinking at the top left (in the middle of the SD label) -- it seemed to indicate some sort of processing going on (I don't think the guy ever seemed to notice it). I'm wondering if that indicates that it's acknowledging a button push or just accessing the SD card....
