It's June 21st and these are supposed to be available on the 24th. Have any of you who pre-ordered gotten shipping info? I'm curious how long before we start getting "real people's" take on the device...

If you're interested (and got the free time) you can watch My Deep Guide's 3-part magnum opus of the device. It, probably, makes more sense to skip to the chapter(s) you're more interested in:

I watched the chapters that were relevant to me and I have opinions on it:
Unfortunately, the lack of an option to upload owned epubs to their cloud is still an inconvenience if you want to switch from a different vendor. Yes you can sideload everything from dropbox but not all their devices support dropbox. |

First Impressions only using epub:
The Screen is beautiful, seems to be cripser and better contrast then the Forma and I would say even slightly better then the Aura One. I can't see any problems caused by the lower dpi, no noticeable pixelation or combeffects. ymmv The light on my model is even, no shadows, no halos, no lightbleed, no colored blotches. There is a slight colorgradient from the wide frame sites "perfect white" to a "smidge of beige/yellow" on the other site. This only noticeable for me on high light level and if you are really, really looking for something wrong. Data Transfer and Filemanagment is much faster, as expected: ~1.300 files (1.4GB) Transfer: 190 secs Database Import: ~215 secs Collection lists show covers faster, paging through lists is roughly the same speed. Opening epubs is ~20% faster. Cover images in the epubs have sometimes a delay before they show up on my Forma, but show instantly on the Elipsa. Page turn speed is comparable to a Forma. It feels slightly faster, but this might be my imagination because of the new shiny... At least there are no performance problems driving the bigger screen. This large screen without header/footer patch is just sad. Didn't do much with the pen so far, scribbling notes in epubs works fine, and it is reasonably responsive. A slight delay that you might notice, but not bad enough that it is annoying. |

I don't like this horizontal line in the new firmware. Think it's best to remove it or change the color ... |

Now the Elispa is out, I'm looking at the gap between the FCC notification and the device relase, and thinking it unlikely there's be another Kobo this year - no reFormation, it seems

Has anyone in the UK got their Elipsa yet?
and did you have to pay import fees? Mine has shipped with TNT, but is delayed due to customs! |
