Well, it made it fine. A little under 48 hours from order to door. Which I reckon is an average speed of just over 60 miles per hour all the way
And it is fantastic. I was half way through a book, so I sourced a .lit file of it, converted it to .lrf, found where I was up to, and off I went.
My first thoughts:
Silver works fine. It does indeed match the screen colour very well. I now think had I gone for the blue one, it would have looked better as a piece of kit, but somehow not so good when in use. So I'm happy there. I think the background colour of the screen is ever so slightly more grey than I thought it would be. But it doesn't detract from the reading at all, just my own perception.
The refresh flash is initially a bit odd, but as has been reported before, you soon don't notice it - I hit the page turn button just before reaching the end of the sentence at the bottom of the page, and by the time I've absorbed the last 2-3 words and moved my eyes up to the top left, it is just coming back.
The only thing I dislike is the outside colour of the included cover. Quite a yucky mid-brown. Not quite sure why it wasn't the same silver-grey the inside / device is.
Guess I'll have to get a better cover for it when it launches here in the UK. Not worth importing one of them.
Overall, it rocks. And so do B&H.
