So I loaded some ePubs and some comics.

Initial verdict: it's absolutely fine.

The colour is not as vibrant as an iPad or MacBook Pro screen, but hey. For colour covers, it works well. Once inside an ePub, the contrast and definition are good. You can adjust colour saturation and gamma as well as the usual contrast and brightness, but I didn't bother and reading was fine. I tried a couple of comics, one with full colour artwork throughout. Very good definition, the colours were rendered beautifully. 6" is a bit small for comics lettering, but in two-column mode it was perfectly legible.

Despite my earlier comments about the relative darkness of the screen compared to my Onyx Boox, I have switched the frontlight off and it is eminently usable in slightly overcast daylight.

Overall, on this early evidence it seems a good device.
