Got mine a couple weeks ago and love it. I've read about a quarter of a book with it, and so far prefer it to paper. It's just as easy on the eyes, and stays open. I do wish that it didn't blank the screen when it turns off (so that I could just pick it up and start reading again - and turn itself on when I hit the next-page button, without having to fumble with the on/off switch). I suppose there's a reason, like burn-in or somesuch, for working the way it does though.

I ordered one for my wife for Christmas.

I think the make-or-break issue for this reader will be content. At this point only about half of the authors that I regularly like to read are available via the Connect store.
