Only one available is the black. They had no display model out. I had to purchase it to see it. Best Buy has a 30 return policy though.

My first impressions. I did have trouble getting my computer to recognize it. Had to read the manual. I haven't gotten the sony reader library to recognize it yet??? Will look into it later. Overall I like it.
1) Easy to set up
2) The bezel isn't that big a glare. In fact I don't really notice it. Especially after having the Nook Classic.
3) The reader store is a snap. The Google Store is a waste of time unless you want the classics etc.
4) Someone said they downloaded from Kobo. I didn't try Kobo but I did try BoB & I could order from them but not download directly from them.So I tried downloading it to the reader library & to my reader. But like I said it didn't recognize it. It just said "error." So I had to sideload it from my computer to the reader. I'll try the Kobo store later.
5) The web browser isn't too bad. But I seldom use web browsers on my reader.
6) No cover available yet so I won't be using it too much till I get one.
7) I like the the font sizes. The font styles are nice too. But then i never really objected to the other one on my 350.
8) I like the menu & back buttons on the bottom. The page turn buttons are okay but I probably won't use them.
9) I like the two finger zoom & zoom out.
10) Dictionary is a bit different. You press & hold & it brings up the definition & wikipedia etc. Of course you can also tap on the screen to go back to what you were reading or hit the back button.
11) Turning the pages only takes a slight flick of my thumb. Each page refreshes though so be aware of that.

I'm sure there is more. I don't have any pdf so I can't tell you whether I like it or not. I didn't try notes or highlighting but the You Tube video showed that pretty well.
