If this is really 768x1024 it seems like a perfect size/resolution at 8.1 inches. It would be a little sharper than my PRS-700 and a bigger screen but not too big. If this device doesn't suffer from the slightly iffy contrast and too-shiny screen it could be the perfect device.

I have a feeling that by the time I'm ready to buy a new reader (a long way off) there will be a lot of good, cheap(ish) choices.
