I did see an occasional crash or two, but not frequent enough to bother me, and without me noticing a pattern. I also have occasional crashes on the old Glo, the HD isn't doing any worse in that regard.

A minor thingie I've seen recently, both on the Glo and the Glo HD, is that "unhighlight" doesn't work.

I did see a relatively short battery cycle, and surprisingly big load percentage point drops. But it was the first charge cycle, so I don't think any big conclusions can be drawn from that yet.

The menu icons are a bit smaller than on the Glo, and the menu bar doesn't fill out the whole screen width. But not by much.

Overall, it seems very usable. Thanks for supporting the new device so quickly.
I'm on my first battery cycle too. I'm surprised how fast the battery drops. I don't have a reference of how long should the battery of a ereader lasts but for my Glo HD, I will have to charge it every few days.

I hope that the battery performance would improve after the first few battery cycle.
