I am still thinking that Mentor is going to have the most innovative, diverse and actually available family of ereading devices out there. I really like this look of this none. I like it not just because it has that campy look from the old Woody Allen movie Sleeper combined with 70s, ahem, style, but if the buttons function as I am hoping this would be a great recreational reading device. And a sub $200 price is imperative in that type of reader. Ideally sub-$150 would be the sort of device that people, even today, would impulse buy or buy as a gift for people who they know who are readers.
Like all current reading devices, a breakable glass layer over the display is the primary reason I would pass on one. Though my PDAs are all glass but a lot stronger simply because the size of the display allows for less flex in the display.
Nice device for sure.
