In brief:
- For PDFs, it has various zoom options. You can zoom via stylus: Just mark the area of interest and explode to full screen. Or you can zoom to fit page, width, ...
- Its 5-way-button is very well thought out. Actually, it's 2 rings, one within the other. With the inner ring, you can change font size, up obviously increases and down decreases the font size. The outer ring is for managing the menus. Meaning: You don't have to use the stylus, everything can be done via 5-way-button as well.
- You probably already know, but just to make sure: BeBook Neo's hardware is identical with Onyx Boox, they've only (slightly) modified the firmware.
- You can purchase books via WiFi directly on the reader and activate (ADE) them on the reader as well.
- Given its WACOM screen, the contrast is identical with non-touchscreen units. No glare, no increased reflection.
- The back is metal. High quality, but I don't like the cold "touch" of it.
- HarryT loves the annotation features.
- Right now, the firmware is way ahead of iRex 800. Personally, I still prefer iRex 800's "touch and feel" and eagerly wait for the upcoming firmware update (already in beta stage for some weeks now).
- Given it's low price of € 299, you can't go wrong with BeBook Neo.

I gave some more details about BeBook Neo starting with #354 in this thread.
