While I realize that the firmware continues to improve and is a work in progress, the hardware design is still flawed. The biggest problem that I had was with defects in the LCD (dead pixels, dust under the screen, dark spots).

As far as reading goes, I suppose it is fine if you really need a backlight, but in my opinion the eink readers are far superior.

Maybe I'll check out that Velocity Cruz Reader...

I saw a video of that and it looks kind of interesting but the way the guy demoing was pressing the screen leads me to think it is a pressure sensitive screen and not capacitive touch. The tablet they have says multitouch but the reader does not. Pressure sensitive screen are not my favorite, but I could be wrong about it
