I wish the Kindle hardware design was more like this. I'd really rather have the on screen keyboard and keep the device smaller. I love the front light, too. It seems they could add dictionary lookup easily. Hopefully they keep the momentum up with firmware development. Their last release seemed very pleasing and dictionary support is a much requested feature. It's pretty necessary if they want the textbook market as the rumor says. I'm still very happy with my Kindle and prefer the Amazon store experience, but hardware-wise, this is closer to my ideal reader. I won't be switching but I hope it raises the bar in the industry.
