The build quality is, the way I see it, very nice. It is true that the side buttons could appear a bit hard to push (though personally it's not an issue for someone who played with a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive

) but the design is first-class, it lets you focus completely in reading from whichever angle you like (being true that the G-sensor is good, but could have been improved).
I discussed its shortcomings in
my review, and they're mainly related to the software accompanying it and the lack of help for someone who never had an eBook reader (not your case, I'd say

). But the hardware itself is fabulous, IMO.
