The bw mode seems to be rivaling eink when there is a lot of ambient light and the backlit colour mode can be used in the dark for night reading.

If they make it powerful enough, this could be the killer web / email / reader device.

I would be very much interested in the specs of this machine (ram, cpu...etc) in order to decide if it is worth waiting for it.



There appears to be a lot of waiting and a lot of hype on some of these machines.

If this fits what you are looking for, then you need to look at the company's track record for deliverability. If you find it acceptable, then by all means you should wait - if it will give you what you need. If you find it otherwise, you may find what you're looking for in Readers that are already on the market.

A lot may depend on when you need it, the supported format(s), and other qualifications that only you can make.

Whichever Reader you decide to eventually get, once you buy an ebook Reader only a few ever turn away from the enjoyment of reading from an electronic device.

Have fun!
