I caved quickly to the hardwarelust and ordered ordered an H20 from the Chapters site last Weds. It was delivered yesterday - 2 days later (!!!) to me in the US. Very impressive, Chapters!
I got a nearly perfect screen and haven't put my H20 down for long. Love the clarity of it - even nicer than the HD. My H20 was 75% charged when I got it, so by the time I registered & loaded my epubs via the desktop app & Calibre (thanks Calibre Team!) it was ready to roll. It's noticeably more comfortable in my hand than my HD, seems lighter weight, and the bezel doesn't print up as quickly. I have it in an Oberon cover made for the Kindle Touch, and once I have the straps relocated (too tight as-is) I think it'll be there to stay.
I'm (finally) coming around to appreciate a frontlight, and I like the warmer color of the H20 much more than the cooler one of HD. The only flaw/distraction is at the bottom of the screen where the light beams come out - a bit uneven, but I'm already getting used to that.
The left side light slide-adjustment is nice - I just have to train my finger not to trigger it when I page back. And I hope I don't snap off that little door that covers the usb/sd slot.
All in all, very pleased with the H20!
