Ok, just a question on the whole vizplex screen thing. Everyone makes it seem like it'll be a HUGE difference. From what I picked up, it's just a slight increase in contrast (20% - or 1/5th) and (perhaps more importantly) a notably faster page-turn speed.
Does the current eink screen contrast cause any problems? I mean, I've only seen pictures and it seems pretty good to me. Ok, I'm used to recycled-paper books which are kinda grey/brown-on-black in the first place... but still. It's still readable on a sunny day outside right? In an aeroplane with only the little overhead light? Or in bed with a weak (say 20-40W bulb) bedside lamp as only illumination?
Personally, I don't particularly care about the page-turn speed... as long as it's under 1s for a normal, text page. Actually, is it possible to, say, press the "next page" button 5-times in a row fast (without waiting for each page to load) - in for example the sony reader or the hanlins? I mean if you can't then it would be a significant advantage to have pageload times reduced...
