Thanks,

Hi Joe -- Yep, I will post a review shortly after I get it. It is supposed to be delivered on the 20th around noon to 3pm or so. That is, of course, according to UPS which often has no connection at all to shared reality. And, of course, I will at that time be glued to the Apple TV watching the new Apple announcements. My fingers are crossed for the iPad Mini 6 to finally be released! My wallet is cringing in the corner.
One thing though, I cannot imagine that the reading rez on this thing will even come close to approaching the Oasis Kindle which, to me, is the very finest display on an e-ink ereader that I have personally used. Keep in mind that the PB Color devices (both model dimensions) have a backlight but not a frontlight to add control of warmth to that of brightness. I think the regular Inkpad 3 has both light varieties but I am not sure as I have not used it. I have a feeling based on my laughable understanding of the way the color screen is layered to work that the warmth light would totally screw up the color hues. Of course if they wanted to get around that they could make the default off and require a "retweaking" when reading in black and white. That would probably require a full-time help desk employee though just to answer the phone calls. Well, looking forward to playing with the new guy!
