One of the obnoxious things about e-ink is that it's notoriously difficult to photograph in any way that catches the true beauty of the display.

I also have my doubts as to why they'd take an image that managed to capture the display well, and then go play with the shadows around that image -- I mean why bother? Why would they even see a need to?

All my opinion, of course.

To me, it's not so much that it can take a second, charged battery, as it is that the batteries do eventually wear out and stop functioning completely. At that point the removable battery becomes a very nice feature.

I haven't seen one on this iteration, but the NAEB folks are reporting: RTF, HTML, PDF and PRC (Mobipocket sans DRM). I'd expect this one to be somewhere in that neighborhood, anyway. At a guess, it'll probably do Mobi DRM too, since Bookeen has a Mobi based e-bookstore.
