Besides that, it all seems just a bit too even. Not my area of expertise, but that's what it looks like to my uneducated, but attentive eye.
the shadows are clearly photoshopped, but i have my doubts on the content themselves http://hightech.afmag.net/a-new-read...reading-manga/
with it's glare and stuff. However... i'd imagine they would do a contrasting technique on it anyway. And of course... if you put the reader in a lightbox which has a great lighting, the screen would looks 3000x better too.

Yeah, a removable battery is one of the features they've had all along. Makes us Sony & iLiad owners all itchy with jealousy.
it's good for replacement indeed but on the other hand... how often are you running out of juice anyway
