Ive been lurking on the forums here for a couple weeks and finally decided to pick up the Reader today. I spent a quick 15 or 20 mins with it this afternoon and I am really liking it. Its as easy to read as a regular paperback. Of course it weighs a little more, but that should be easy to get use to. So far I would say it does exactly what it is suppose to do and what I wanted it for, to read books
