I wanted to ask others who have one, does the end of the Flipbar next to the menu button stick up a bit above the menu bar, or is flush? My Flipbar sticks up a bit and it's bugging me!

Over all impressions... The Pros. The screen is fantastic! The Cons... I can not believe that there is not a silo, or place for the stylus. There is no way that each and every stylus included with a DR-800 will not disappear in the first 3 months. The slip cover is useless. It's so tight that it is actually work trying to get the DR-800 in or out. It shouldn't be that hard. No "Go-to-Page" feature, downloaded a book from my Barnes&Noble account and it didn't have a Table of Contents so no way to even get close to a desired page with out starting at the beginning.

That's it for now, looking forward to learning from others and I appreciate the activity here on MobileRead it helps!

Same with me. The flipbar doesn't fit perfectly. Over all, the build quality could be a bit better. But I have that with about 1/3rd of my readers: Cheap and cheaper...
