Thanks for taking the time to be one of the first to give us a good review.

minor aspect - Does the HUGE screaming icon words "BEBOOK" on the front bother you (or any one else) at all? The design, although utilitarian and I like it for that, could be greatly enhanced by having a smaller, much smaller, tasteful logo. The EZReader seems to suffer the same GIANT logo thing too!
I don't find the logo that offensive. It may jump out at you in the photos, but it seems much more sombre in real life! Although a subtle BeBook logo with maybe just the "BE" part, somehow distinctively drawn to become as iconic as a well known apple symbol, would be nice. But as you point out the no-nonsense utilitarian design is appealing, and more importantly, seems to work well as a user.

Glad the review was of some use.
