Now i have 2 questions before i commit to this one:
- you can read kindle books with it, right?(i plan on buying the Kindle Unlimited)
- Can someone report on an average battery life?
Thanks a lot for that great forum and all the precious info!

- kindle works fine for me.
- I get more than a month of battery life when reading about one hour average per day and turning the device off in between. Keep in mind that booting takes quite some power. Also, some apps draw a lot more power than others so obviously it will depend on what apps you use.
Concerning the maps: that was also one of my motivations to possess an e-ink device. Keep in mind that screen updates in regular mode take quite some time and sometimes cause the whole screen to blink. This can be very annoying when viewing content that changes a lot (like scrolling maps). However, the A2 mode on this device is very good (grayscale), so that might work better for you.
