But in the final analysis it appears to me to be yet another book reader designed by one of Steve Job's non-readers. Seeing devices like this makes me think Steve might be right. Whomever designed this device doesn't enjoy reading, has never disappeared into a engrossing story. To them it's a tool to be used for sketching and designing things, a portable Wacom tablet with storage. An electronic napkin to whip out and record a design on the spur of the moment. Not a portal designed to disappear as it transports you to another place and time.

I agree. This device have a plethora of functions. This will looks good on its datasheet. But judging by the video so far it's sucks at its main function.
In the video the words are cut at the end of each line, without Hyphens. (like th
at).
And it seems the HTML and CHM files were loaded not as a paginated book but as a standard scrollable page (no bottom margin, and the last lines were cut in half vertically)
Scrolling in Eink sucks. I hope this is still a beta.
As for the device in itself, does someone have been able to take one in his hands? What about the build quality and the ease if use? Cheap plastics or aluminum?
