I just received my Reader, having ordered it from the Beverly Hills Sony Style store only Sunday. I feel like it almost came too soon, heh. Anyway, it's charging now.
The pics are great, Slava. You're all a bunch of pervs, though.
Bow chicka-bow-bow.
My first impression is that the cover is nicer-looking than I expected, but the magnetic closure isn't very strong. The Reader is heavier than I expected too. I still can't tell if it's black or midnight blue. When viewed from one direction it's definitely black, but tipped a bit, it's blue.
I had read that the background display was grayish, that it looked like newsprint ~ so I was very pleasantly surprised by the gorgeous, crisp, bright display I saw when I turned it on. It came with 3/4 bars of charge, too. I fumbled with the menus awhile, not liking that I couldn't intuitively find a way to move the cursor down the menu options with the circular control.
Negatives: Using my left hand to press either of the page controls uses the very same tendons in my inner forearm that are already achy from holding books one-handed. When one hand gets tired, it's not possible to page with the other hand. There was a bit more reflection on the screen than I would like too, and I'll have to try adjusting my lighting somehow.
I'm off to install the software now, but I had to stop in and try to return the favor that you others have done for us.
