Come on EowynCarter, despite of what JSWolf usually does, he is right.
There is nothing in this video that distinguishes the Odyssey from any other latest-gen reader in terms of speed, in fact, my Kindle 3 performs just the same.
The animation really is the only thing that hints at what the Odyssey might be capable of, but the videos show that it is not (yet).
I myself was really excited about it as a reader especially for my PDF files, but the way I can see it, it handles PDFs really worse than Sony does, the way Sony did two years ago.
I will pay attention to the development of the device but right now it would be just random to buy it, it has no advantages over other well established systems, in fact cannot compete in terms of dictionaries or proper annotation support.
