Just that it drains power displaying the book. So if I was to go on another trip to Scotland, the Q7 would not do at all as the battery would die before the plane landed.

So we can agree that the battery life of the Q7 makes it a poor choice as an eBook reader.
It would make a perfect choice as an ereader for me, except for the fact that I don't want a non-transflective LCD screen. It has a longer battery life than my current reader and a bigger screen. And I don't have any problems with LCD screens what-so-ever.

Those reasons you mentioned are the reasons why you won't buy it as an ereader, not why nobody shouldn't buy it as an ereader.

(and I could never read non-stop on a flight, so that's no problem for me...)
