made the Mini useless for me in this respect. But there is a hack which at least gives me some basic functionality, and once you get over the idea that you can customise everything, I find the screen very crisp, I am now totally converted to touch, and for epub it has a lot of nice features, the best of which is the ability to preview/vie footnotes in pop-out mode, which is priceless when reading non-fiction.
I do have another small gripe with the rendering of figures in EPUB or KEPUB files (you must have an image alone on a page to be able to zoom it), and the only workaround is to meddle with the css code - as I do not think this can be done with Kepub, doing it with the sideloaded version of the epub means you cannot sync the notes. Again, this is a minor thing if you only have one device, as in that case syncing notes is only as a backup.
As everybody else has said, it is extremely portable, it has a great screen, and it does make up for its shortfall with other options (e.g. customizing the weight and sharpness of installed fonts), at least for me.
