Seriously, the e-ink 'flips' are no worse than turning pages in a book. And the differences between models is miniscule. WHat is the fuss here? When I'm *reading* something on the Reader, the page changes are almost unnoticeable. I happen to pay attention to the words on the display instead.

I also suspect that 'hello' either owns or is planning to buy a cybook, and is looking for justification.

I've currently got the PRS-500 (my mom *LOVES* it) and the engineering sample of the Cybook Gen3. The only way HELLO can have the Cybook is if he's got an engineering sample. And he's been just as irritating with his criticisms of it.

Me, I'll buy a PRS-505 when I can as well as an Amazon Kindle. I *may* eventually be able to afford an iLiad V2, or one of the rumored dual-screen Hanlins or color screen Hanlins. I just *like* eInk devices. Go figure.
