I've ordered a v3 and got a confirmation message saying it's been shipped. I will try to post some pics here to say a late "hello" as a newbie here.

At first i was considering buying a Cybook Gen3. But it seems to me that Hanlin v3 and Cybook Gen3 have almost the same hardware specs, except the former has more internal memory and is cheaper (USD 324 vs. USD 399), so I simply go for a v3.

The lack of touchscreen is not a concern for me. Speed and power consumption is one thing, and I am used to making quick notes on a simple small writing pad first and then organizing the information on my trusted Sharp Zaurus (now dualbooting a full OpenBSD 4.2 and a full X11 Linux distro called "pdaXrom") with its superb keyboard and touchscreen functionalities. I only expect the v3 to be a nice and large enough display for viewing my tons of digital documents.
