I hear what you're saying... but if I were you, i'd buy one. Now.
I'm not just saying that, I received my blue beauty 3 weeks ago after not even seeing or touching one for real before taking the plunge.
It is lovely. It is excellent.
A
slightly larger screen in the same physical sized reader (maybe could get 7" or 7 1/2" diagonal with only a few extra mm) would be nice.... but can't help feeling that 9.7" is going too far (for me to use for reading books). For big PDF's and manuals, fine and wonderful - but i don't want to be toting what is close to an A4 pad around with me.
And the flash is not a problem. I was worried about that, but it's no worse than the physical labour involved in turning a page
The red one looks kind of cool, too.
And use Calibre!
