Ok sorry for getting my device and then disappearing but it was bad timing. Wife and kids walked into the house 15 min after it arrived so I didn't have lots of time to play around. I loaded up books and then jumped into the car to take my daughter to her swimming lessons.

Ok first impressions:

Size is amazing for me. Ive actually had to readjust how I hold this Kindle. I have no cover so it's tiny in my hands.

The buttons feel nice to press. Not cheap, and I don't hear any clicking noise but then I'm also not in a quiet environment right now.

The speed is snappy. Navigating between pages and menus is significantly faster then the K3. I noticed it right away.

I'm already used to the keyboard and entering one letter at a time. Like I said its FAST response so moving from letter to letter is a breeze. Maybe experience in entering text through joysticks on game consoles pays off here. For the amount of typing I do, I have no complaints.

Page turns are nice. I really like the non-flash on each page, makes the page turn faster. The screen is surprisingly not ghosted very badly at all without the full refresh. I have tight line spacing and made the margins smaller so maybe with a screen full of text the partial refresh works well since it updates all over the screen.

That's it for now! I'll post some side by side pics with my kindle 3 tomorrow.
