I'd say the only issue I have with the Elonex is something that others may consider to be a benefit.

By default the Elonex does quick screen refreshes on page turns, without a full blank and rewrite of the eInk screen. This makes page turns much quicker, but does mean that the text contrast gradually degrades (though it takes a lot of page turns before it gets really bad). There is a button on the keyboard that you press to do a full screen refresh.

I typically find that I press the refresh button about every tenth page, and it's become habitual so I don't really notice it while I'm reading. For a lot of people this will actually be preferable to the slow page turn full refresh that's typical of eInk.

There is a setting in the options to make the Elonex do a full refresh every time, like most eReaders, but this setting doesn't work at the moment. I raised this as a bug with support and I hope it will get fixed in a future firmware upgrade.
