It looks like an intriguing e-reader. While BN and Kobo have gone the route of competing with the Kindle by introducing touch and a smaller form, iriver/Google are trying a sharper text over other eink devices. That's the most important part of reading for me, how the text actually looks, not the software capabilities or how the device looks. Ease of page turns is also important to me, especially as a lefty, and the page-turn lever in the middle of the iriver looks quite convenient. I hope a local Target has one this weekend, so I can check out the feel of it and compare the text with my Kindle.
