As for the font changing, I believe he is counting EVERY key punch, including choosing the last font in the list. If there are 12 font choices, he presses the keys to fet to the fonts, then presses 12 more times to go down to the last one.

Now, if it took 16 key presses to GET to the font menu, then yea, the GUI/Menu needs work.

1 click - Menu
6 clicks - Font Family option (7th option in menu)
3 clicks - First option for font (smallest)
10 clicks for smallest font
7 clicks - Last font option
18 clicks for largest font

Unless there were verification popups to make sure you really wanted to change the font, which wasn't shown in the vid. But I can't really see an extra 6 button presses vor verification. Also, he may also be including button presses to go back to reading form the menu.

Either way, I think 16 key-presses is stretching it a bit. Using his journalistic perogative to stretch the truth. If someone buys this, perhaps they can shed a more UNBIASED light.

But regardless, it looks cheap, keys are cheap plastic, hard to press. I'll pass on this one.
