Oh wait, was this me? Oh heh - sorry for the late arrival in this thread then!
Yes - I got mine, and I have to say that it's bloody great, and at the same time, bloody frustrating.
In a nutshell - the hardware works really well, and I can zoom in and navigate around a "sheet of paper" using the touchscreen. In addition, I can annotate documents. I think it's great!
However, at the same time, Jinke's software is so annoying, and so brain-dead. It's exactly what using a Windows computer would be like after having only used Mac OS X :P The UI is fairly arcane, and does not always do what you'd expect it to do. Lots and lots of quirks in it.
But heck, given that the V2 sells for almost half the price of the only other touchscreen reader on the market, the Iliad, I'm not going to complain!
Any questions about the V2, feel free to ask in here or in the Hanlin forum
