So the blue light filter thing was real. Now I'm really interested. Together with the night mode hack this could be a serious improvement. Especially if the frontlight's min brightness point has been lowered.

It looks like there's some sort of circular indicator on the top right corner of the bezel.

So blue light, and overdrive support confirmed.

Hopefully the Overdrive support is added into the base firmware for the older generation models.

A few other reviews are using the figure of 230 grams, I hope they are weighing it themselves.

Darn it! Where's my coffee machine!

Seriously though, I need to have a proper hands on with this thing, but so far; WANT!
Yes, I know I could be seen as biased, but I'm a prickly soul and don't typically gush / act all sales person like, and firstly, I love reading, and this does look like it'll be rather nice to read on, and could be the first of our readers that I purchased. Yes, I said that about the H20, and I *was* going to purchase one, but, as if by magic, the shopkeeper... whoops, sorry... an H20 appeared, so I've been using that.

Jon, it's entirely possible they pulled the review until -after- Kobo made their announcement and then put it back up. Since they did jump the gun in putting it up before the official announcement.
