To be honest it still looks a bit slower than I'd like in the videos I've seen. But the interface is pretty slick and it seems to handle PDFs well (one thing I'll need to check), and it looks gorgeous. Their choice of fonts (Georgia and Avenir) is smart and shows they know something about typography (unlike Apple), but this is something I'd want to hack because I really do like Minion - since they use ADE I'm hoping there's a chance that we can use a similar css hack to the one on the 505.
I was tempted by the new Sony readers with the Pearl screen last year, but held off because the 650 didn't seem enough of an upgrade over my 505. But at this price it looks like I'll be getting a Kobo when they arrive in the UK.
Good work Kobo! I've been buying my ePubs from their store for a while now, so getting one of their ereaders makes sense too. They're a plucky little company who's delivering the goods, which is refreshing given the amount of vapourware we've had on the ereader front in the past couple of years.
