Perhaps Natch or someone can get a demo, review unit.

And .txt isn't bad... would be about the same as RTF right. Espesially if you can control the font via the reader rather than embedding font commands in the RTF.

As I said above, I have an OEM version. Yes, the screen is as good as Eink. In some ways it is better than the screen on my Kindle (or the 500 I used to have). In the end it would come down to personal preference.

P.S. In the email, they offered to let me buy one to review, and they would let me return it in less than 30 days. I'm not interested because the device isn't enough better than the one I have.
