32 GB of storage? Good try, but still no cigar when there's no microSD slot. My book collection breaks 32 GB easily.

From the press release, it looks like they're relying on feature of Amazon-purchased files? Plus Kindle support for PDF is not great, and this device doesn't even list it as a feature. So compatibility with my current library is poor to non-existent, plus vendor lock-in.

Also, having to deal with a Japan-only product is a hassle.

This is better but not there yet. Would need better software support for multiple formats and expandable storage, with a bonus of a bigger screen. Then I'd be all over it.

What I find really interesting is the reported increase in page turn speed! It looks like Amazon has delivered updated firmware to all devices to make page-turning faster, but the other devices are still slower than this one? I wonder if this is the first IMX7 ereader to market.
