Response is overall very peppy. Controls are very intuitive and gestures rock.
The screen is totally fine under strong light (like the Magic Light clipped to it,) and even though the contrast is not great, it does not seem to tire my eyes after extended reading.
I do have a problem with the screen when there is no strong, direct light. It is basically unreadable in such conditions.
I am really starting to think I need a larger screen though....

thanks for the further review ! a couple of questions, if you don't mind.
1. just how "strong and direct" does the light have to be ? i generally read in bed with a small lamp. it's directly overhead, and i can read even a rather cheaply printed paper book by its light with no troubles (and a cybook e-ink screen also presents no problem), but it's not excessively bright, either. is ambient light from a lamp bright enough for you ?
2. when reading, is there a problem with glare on the screen ? enough to get in the way of reading ? enough to be noticeable ?
please do let us know when you eventually have to charge the battery, as well !
cheers.
