There were also five font sizes. I tried out several different text sizes, and was able to read without issue on all of them (including the extra small setting).
That's interesting that the unit you tried had three fonts - the one I tried did not have the light .

I tried all font sizes and I was able to read at all sizes - I just meant that I would like to see an additional zoom level.

The lag you are talking about is that on the LCD screen alone or between the LCD and eink?

I found the touch on the LCD sometimes sensitve - I think it will just be a matter of getting use to it.

My original pre-order is suppose to ship today, but I have not heard whether is will or be delayed like the first group..
