So if it has the front light, does it have glass on top then? That would be very unfortunate.
The front light alone is pretty unfortunate, an unnecessary layer reducing contrast and introducing optical distortions.
Also, I hope that black version will be available because white subjectively makes the screen look much darker. Black makes the screen look very white.
I have one reader both black and white - the white one was simply unusable. A very unpleasant fealing when reading. I finally put some black tape around the screen, only then I was able to use it. Later I got a dark cover for it covering everything around the screen, so the problem went away.

What about Likebook Note? No glass? Open Android?
Perhaps then Mimas will be the same.

Mimas seems to be as close to perfection as I ever seen.
Still, I would like black or at least dark brown one and without the front light.
I am so happy that Onyx Boox Note has no front light and no glass.
And I love its native Neo reader software.
But it lacks the card slot and buttons, unfortunately. Simply uncomprehensible! Onyx Boox, not some Kindle or Kobo.
