I received it a couple of days ago and I am quite happy with it. Hardware-wise I have only a few negative remarks - the screen is quite dark compared to an ordinary e-ink Carta screen (but it's still perfectly OK). When writing I inadvertently pressed the right button a couple of times, which sent me to the next page - perhaps it can be still repaired in software, by disabling the button when the pen is close to the screen. And that's about all - I worried that the processor and ram are too weak, but no problem here. The battery drains *really* fast, but I still hope that it's a purely software issue.

The software is another thing, but it's quite usable already now. The (manual) crop function for reading pdfs works well, so the screen size is OK.
