Thanks for the answer, here's another question or three:

*) connectors - USB - the website isn't clear on this, but I may have found an answer in the questions section, but perhaps someone here (I'm look at you AlbertaCowboy :-) knows more:
Does Earl have an actual USB port, or, as it seems to be, merely a 3.5 TRS connector which doubles as USB port, requiring a propietary adapter?

*) Actual screen size - the dimensions of the device seem to be similar to the Kobo Wifi - but what about screen size?
I'm thinking of replacing my Kobo with Earl, but if the screen is smaller, it'd be a downgrade...
