It seems to match up well to the others in terms of processor speed and screen resolution (as well as the price), but I think I like the more slimline style of the PW and Kobo Aura enough to edge out my desire for page turn buttons.
If only they'd made it a little smaller by doing away with the d-pad at the bottom it would have been very tempting, but as it is, it's only 11mm shorter than the Kindle Keyboard.
Kindle Keyboard
191 mm (H) x 122 mm (W) x 9 mm (D) - 247 g
Icarus Illumina HD
180mm x 123mm x 10mm - 229 g
Kindle PW
169 mm x 117 mm x 9.1 mm - 206 g
Kobo Aura
150 x 114 x 8.1 mm - 174 g
I've been happy with my Kindle but the diminutive size and weight of the Aura is tempting me most right now.
