Interesting tidbits from the review:
- Capacitive touchscreen, even with the raised bezel;
- Frontlight very even;
- Same battery as the old H2O (1500mAh);
- Memory soldered to the motherboard, it's a IPX8 requirement;
- There's a metal framework inside: the e-reader doesn't bend or creak, feels solid in the hand;
- Formed bubbles when he threw it into the pool, simply shaking it made them go away;

He also says it's got a bit more ghosting than the competition (Kindle and Tolino in this case), probably due to the lack of E-ink Regal technology. Was to be expected considering that the only Kobo reader to use Regal is the old Aura, but I'm still wondering why.
