fair enough

2) nope.
pity

3) yes, it is quite white (as the Pro+) and the size is compact. It is not as white as other e-reader I have (Voyage and H2O), but it is the whitest I have seen on android ones.
voyage,h20 and kobo HD are quite amazing

4) not yet. Only 32 GB.
still a considerate and nifty amount, anyway 64 is supported by vendors declarations( an alexandrine library even if use pdf as me), and even 128 I guess( a borges babylonian library)

5) not yet. It's more of a toy for me than anything else right now, I will use it more when travelling. Do you want me to test some specific apps for you?
you are really kind, but now I've seen some video, the double processor is quite cool, and
the fluidity is of course light years away from ipad, what matters is that one should not use too much refresh otherwise the life lenght really shorten up on e readers




Regarding TTS, home or travel I will always have a phone with an external SD where to put hours of Johan Sebastian Bach. If I am sporting or cycling(as I live in Amsterdam), I will rather hear some outstanding podcast than hearing a book.
and then let's face it sometimes we have to be zen and empty our bookworm mind-->

I still hope to find a way to bring an all inclusive ereader/smartwatch/phone/tablet/notebook than 5 devices but I am not complaining as in 2kg(+bose noise cancelling of course) in the backpack can virtually do everything. Thanks Aceflor
