I saw one briefly in a store and thought the refresh rate looked fine -- but I could only compare it to older eInk models I had seen in other stores. There might be a delay depending on what was being done.

How does it compare to the eBookwise? (That's my current portable device.)

I've helped people find books in bookstores before. I guess I shouldn't have started reshelving books (but they were shelving Westerns and historical myteries under Fantasy! ) because then I stop looking like a customer and start looking for someone who knows where the Westerns or cookbooks are. Sadly, I usually know the answer.
