I'm actually considering Librie...

I'll list my reasons, and i would like your opinion thx in advance

Pros:
- The battery. It uses AAA batteries..so even if i get caught with empty batteries, I could replace it easily, instead of waiting 4 hours just to recharge Reader's battery. More page "flips" too. (my main reason to get Librie instead of Reader)
-Patchable to english
-it has a mini keyboard, so im guessing the dictionary should be easier to use, though slow (english is not my native language, i'd need some handy help)
-i might be able to get it from singapore (i'm in indonesia)


Cons:
BBeB
But i dont really mind it. Most of the stuff i want to read, i have the "masters" in html, txt and pdfs. Spending some minutes to convert it shouldnt be much trouble. I'll consider it as time taken to drive to a bookstore to get paper books. and because i'd still have the masters, i can change to next generation ebook reader later without worrying too much.

For page refresh time, I saw the video, and decided that its not that bad.

any other factors i should pay attention to?
should i wait?

thank you
