Got it.

I got it yesterday an it is really quite nice. Heavier than I expected, though. (Feels heavier than Cybook).

Pros:
- page turns much quicker than Cybook and Iliad
- very quick power on
- pretty easy to use
- good format support, smart pdf zoom

Cons:
- can't delete files on the reader, only via my Mac
- Mac's system ("ghost") files will clog up the documents list on the reader, have to use HiddenCleaner every time I put stuff on it
- wasn't able to open any JPGs yet. Which isn't really a problem, but anyway...
- landscape mode is unintuitive, should be turned 180 degrees from the way it is now

I mostly read stuff I would otherwise print out or read on my Mac rather than real eBooks. So until calibre adds epub support I'll place my hopes on the second-hand Sony Reader that I bought on ebay a few days ago. In my oppinion, all these devices are far from where they need to be, anyway. All just temporary solutions until something better comes arount (Please, Apple, just do it!).

Cheers,


jo.
