I am surprised how much I am enjoying this device - I thought it would be a little large and unwieldy, but it is very comfortable and I do like the larger screen more than I thought I would.

The resolution is so good as well - I'm reading a new book on the Revolutionary War ("The British are Coming" - it's excellent) and it has some very detailed maps. In previous ereaders, I've always hated reading books with detailed maps, but being able to read the maps without zooming is great - and when zooming in on them it's even better.

I have VIA browser installed on it for web browsing - it looks great and is super-usable (best eReader for web browsing that I've ever had).

Backlight is great (as good as NG3) - it's snappier than my NG3... overall I'm very pleased.

The ONLY downside for me is that it's slightly less portable - once in a great while I would put the NG3 in a cargo shorts pocket or a coat pocket which I can't do with this. However, I've gotten a nice neoprene sleeve (one made for an Ipad Mini) and I'm fine with just carrying it around like a book.
