Luckily for me an Apple store just opened up nearby. I was talking to one of the employees yesterday and he was adamant that they would have them on display instore a few days before going on sale so that people could get some hands on time before buying. So I'll be getting a good look at the screen and seeing how well it displays comics first. Unfortunately being in the uk it's unlikely to be setup with the iBook app. I will however be remedying that if I buy by registering it with my US iTunes account
