Amazon originally advertised it as patented screen technology where you can't see where the source of light is. Well we all know thats not true!
No page buttons.
Forgot to mention in my review that battery life doesn't seem so good.

That's a nice summary, and those are similar to the concerns I have. If it had been as brilliant as Amazon advertised it was going to be, then they probably wouldn't have mattered, but it's not.
So, no page turn buttons, questionable battery life, inability to turn the light off, light source not quite as advertised, still weighty despite it being smaller & less storage space than my Kindle 3. Along with the fact there are also issues with colour hues on the screen makes it pretty certain that I'll probably just be sticking with my Kindle 3 for now.
I'm more tempted by the Kobo Glo at the moment as it least it doesn't have problems with the screen discolouration, but it has it's own issues too. Bright pixels, possible blue tinge to the light, lowest light setting not low enough, and also no page turn buttons & questionable battery life, though most importantly, it's not backed up by Amazon's support.
