It looks pretty close (don't know what color it's going to be, I hope black). The difference is that the bezels look smaller and the placement of page turn keys are different (right on the edge like the Kindle Keyboard or the D01100 no-touch Basic). I'm guessing they did that to make the bezel smaller. Not sure if the screen will be flush or not (the diagram tends to make me think it won't be). It's capacitive touch (unlike the GlowLight 3). Quad Core should make it faster (it has BlueTooth, but they had that on the 7.8" Plus, don't know if the've ever it used it for anything, though). It has more memory (32 GBs) and the USB-C port many seem to want. My main hopes are that the screen is as good as the GlowLight 3's and that they skew the font sizes more to the "normal" size range. And if would be nice if they allowed fonts to be side loaded.
