Well, my WikiReader has now arrived. It's rather impressive.
The screen is not backlit, and sem to be a reflective B&W display - well black and silver/grey. Contrast in indoor lighting a bit worse than eInk, but not too bad at all. It gets better in brighter light. The surface is glossy - and seems to be glass.
Switch on time to the search screen is less than two seconds. The searching using an on-screen keyboard is very good, and for finding something in the off-line copy of Wikipedia i works very well.
The memory is a micro SDHC, removable through the battery compartment.
I like it. I shall have great fun playing with it, especially if I can get the kernal compiled up and working, so that I can tweak it.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
