When used with proper reading angle (ie. 30° - 40°) And proper lighting,

select level 2 brightness with the built in LED light switch. As a former
Optician, everything else is visual acuity (or lack thereof) related.

Once again, proper reading angle is a must for the luxury of
a touch screen!

This is an understatement. The UI is hands down, the best I've seen!
Touch screens are the future, and it would not surprise me the least to see
the rest of the eInk gang doing likewise.

Best Features thus far:
- (Re)-Searching capabilities / FrontPage Iconed eBooks / Zoom! / Notes!
/ Music / 2 levels of LED Brightness / Photos / v-Keyboard! / Stylus or
Finger gesturing / Magnetic Leather Cover / Landscape / Portrait reading
/ etc etc...


But hey, don't take my literal word for it, its just my objective
(hands-on) opinions...
