Sorry to be so cranky sounding.
If they got the ergonomics done as well as the REB1100/EB-1150, that'll be a fantastic thing! Every reader since then has been several steps inferior on that front. Add in an eInk screen and improvements in page-turn time, and it might (might, I say) be the reader I've been wanting since I upgraded from the REB1100 to my current Sony PRS-500.

I'm still waiting to hear about library organization, and exact details on the improvements they (may have) made.

P.S. The screen quality of the PRS-500 trumped the ergonomic advantage of the REB1100 (for me), but I've been dreaming of a reader that had both for some time now...
