I'm kind of looking for 'the disappointments' in the review!
It's great to have a (long) positive review, but every device has a catch ( like screen refresh rate,maybe buttons that are not set in a handy way,or quality of the case).
Generally I don't buy 'All positive' comments. Musiciansfriend is good in that too, that they sell their products with only the positive comments, and as negative comments they put things like: I wished the device was available in silver pink with blue dots to fit my house interior...(things that most users don't really care about).
Seriously mentioning the refresh rate of this device is nearly twice that of a Sony PRS-505 would be appreciated!
I mean, facts are facts, and I'd rather find out beforehand,and then make my decision, than figuring it out when it's too late!

Actually this needs further review...
I didn't check Sony specs because Sony have some kind of Anti-American thing going and won't let me buy one from Australia, Europe, wherever (well, now they have expanded to Canada and UK - wow!).
And even if I do circumvent this absolutely astounding restriction and buy one on eBay or from a rebel reseller that ships to other parts of the world, there is no shop access to buy there crazy LRF format (Sony Connect needs a US credit card - WTF??).
So I read a review (
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/22423...er-prs505.html) that said: "...
eBook readers are unique in that they are not going to live or die by their looks or even technical specifications, so much as their ability to deliver an absorbing reading experience..." I'm wondering how, when I can't actually officially buy the reader or any books to read on the damn thing??
Then the review goes on to say: "...
And while a two-second delay turning pages can be accommodated, that leniency does not extend to the menus which can be four pages deep before you get anywhere near the eBook you're after..."
So we have a 2 second delay turning pages - is that right? Well my BeBook pages in about one second flat - menus, books, settings, whatever - so either the review is wrong or the 505 is slow. Which is it?
