My first day too. Beautiful design, well laid out buttons for the most part except for the right hand page flip which I find too small. Thin, light, solid. Easy to load books and recharge. The screen is a bit smaller than I expected, which is only a concern for the number of page flips for a book. Reads just fine, no real eye stain or adjustment needed. Pull the cover off and it is a lot easier to hold. Two good switches to toggle page. Don't go crazy like I did and load in 1600 books at once. Takes a good 8 minutes to catalog them whenever I unplug the USB. Battery life is fine and only takes 30-40 minutes max to recharge on the USB port. Have not tried a PDF yet. CPU is a little slow to load in a book but fine afterward. The change font size works well and is very useful to find the right size for my older eyes.
Books are all over the place including torrents. Trying to use book designer 4.0 to convert the books I really want from other types of formatted e book I downloaded. Page flips are noticable at first but I quickly ignored it. will read 10 books in a row just on the reader to get used to it.
