Form factor: The 4:3 ratio vs. 16:9 of the former 2 generations becomes obvious rather quickly. It's more efficient, simply way more text per page. But I've always been a fan (Sony 900 reader, for example) of the wide format, especially (I'm probably in the minority here) in portrait format. I have to see, what I'll actually prefer long-term.
I believe the ratio is really 3:2 which is a bit wider, 1.5 instead of 1.33 while wide screen is 1.77. I think it is a pretty good ratio, more screen area for the same size screen.
