I went and checked one out. Very impressive screen. Sharp and dark fonts. Looked good with the light turned completely off. (No dead pixels on the demo unit.) Nice feel, I liked the page turn buttons. Checked out the light, it has automatic or manual settings for night light. Feel, screen and buttons all very good. But I think it has inherited the slow interface from its little brother. I'm hoping it hasn't inherited the other issues from the 3, but it looks like they're treating both as the same unit in support, so I'm not that hopeful on that count. Still, I liked it and I spend most of my time reading, not jumping around in the interface. There may be one of these in my (or my father's) future. The screen is impressive. I'm guessing, since all the other specs are close to the 3, that this one has an IR touch screen as well. (One odd thing, the hand-out sheet they had on these doesn't mention anything at all about Bluetooth.) But I've never seen such a low-key introduction of a brand-new product. What's the deal with that?
