IT'S HERE! I had to wait for the postal truck to finish his route and drop it off at the post office (located in the 7-11 two blocks from my house).

This thing is awesome! My lady friend just bought a Sony PRS-505 and hers arrived on Friday so I have been in major envy mode all week. No more!

I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of the rubbery finish (I got the black one). It is not slippery at all whereas the Sony unit is metal and a bit slippery. I definitely like the interface as the menus and buttons make more sense to me than the ones on the Sony.

I'm very surprised that it came with a 1 GB SD card loaded with 300 free ebooks! I'm not sure if this is an introductory promo thing, but I don't recall reading anywhere on the EZREADER website that it included an SD card in the price. Nice touch.

I can't wait to show my EZReader off to my lady friend tonight.
