Got it today, holy crap I loved it the minute I opened the box, the screen is a joy to look at. 2 hours reading The Monster Baru Cormorant today and it was effortless, such a comfortable reading experience. 97% battery after a couple of hours messing around with it. I find myself flicking through my library just to see the book covers blown up on the big screen.
Instant page turns, like nanoseconds, my first time using Kepubs so not sure if its that or the hardware or a bit of both, its great though. Likewise I thought Id be moving straight to the buttons for page turning but the capacitive screen is so responsive I find myself just flicking a finger at it.
I thought I was just going to lock it in portrait (which I did, landscape is useless to me) and turn off the accelerometer to lock it in right hand mode but wasn't expecting to be swapping from left to right hand so naturally straight away, its great, big boost to comfort levels being able to do that.
I love the orange light aswell, I could actually see myself using that to read in low light, I always found the Glo HDs light to be just as painful to look at as a smartphone in dark environments but with natural light at 100% Orange and light level at 30-50% its actually soothing to look at and read on, a big unexpected plus there.
Downsides:
-Fingerprint magnet, its covered in them, wipes clean easy though.
-The power button, hilariously bad, zero tactile feedback, have to press it way too hard, the swipe to unlock feature I had to remove in the config file just the icing on the sh*tcake.
-The buttons are a bit creaky and rattly, I would have liked them to be firmer and more clicky, I get the feeling they'll break in or bed down over time though.
Overall super happy with it, those are minor niggles I wont even notice in a few days. I was getting emotional saying goodbye to my Glo HD after all the books we'd read together but its too worn out to salvage, this is a more than worthy successor.
