Thanks for mentioning it, jlynton. I can't wait to try some third-party reading software (and maybe some other neat things if I can figure out how to update the screen after changing the framebuffer).
The display is great, and I knew exactly what I was in for when I got it, but it's just loaded with untapped potential. And frankly after using it for close to a week now I know more surely than ever that even if I'll end up using the device for nothing but reading, I just want good old-fashioned directories without any of this so-called processing which completely ignores my folder structure. I understand that both KOReader and Cool Reader provide just that. Of course I could always return the device, or within the next three weeks anyway, but I really don't want to go back to the '09 Bebook anymore after having used this screen. *grins*
