I have the Mars and have been happy with it. I use it both for reading indoors and out and for writing/editing when I'm outdoors. It's not perfectf for word processing, mostly because there's a bit of lag with e-ink's refresh rate. Still, it's good enough. I use it for writing 4-5 times/week. The other downside is that when you do use the Mars as a tablet, the battery life is very poor {maybe 3 hours at best} if you have google apps enabled. If I'm writing, I do it in Google Docs, so I live with the substandard battery life. fwiw, i find it hard to write outdoors for more than an hour at a time anyway. If I'm going to be away from an outlet, I just bring along a battery extender with a micro usb connection. I do notice that greyscale screens and being away from an internet connection do make it easier to focus on one task at a time.
