My first impressions:

Oh, it's beautiful. So light and thin and the screen feels huge after reading on pda and phone devices for so long. And really, it's about the same size as an ereader screen on my laptop, so, perfect.

The clarity of the screen is gorgeous. The flashing when it turns pages might take some getting used to.

I can see what some people say about the thinness of the plastic making it feel - less expensive. I don't mind it, though.

It feels like I have to press REALLY hard on the buttons. I think that might just take some getting used to.

Switching the library of .prc books into it (some DRM, some not) into it was easy with the 6.1 software on my computer. The DRM ones were a little of a pain, since I authorized each individually. I'm guessing once I actually go to the site and update my PID and download later, it'll be better. But all i had to do was type in my username and password for fictionwise for each, which was an easy surprise. It felt too easy, and I was convinced it wouldn't authorize them that way but - no problem!

My cat is intrigued. Who knew that even non-paper books are like catnip to a cat?

Lastly, I am, quite simply, happy.

It's charging through the usb right now and I'm torn between what to read on it first
