Detailed review
Good device overall. Software could have been a bit speedier on the computer. Display was crisp for the most part, but I was looking for a little more contrast between the text and the "paper". Had a bit of a grayish look to the background, and at times the title pages of books would cause temporary ghosting.

Ended up returning at the 30 day mark not due to any major issues with the device itself. I apparently have a certain nostalgia for a physical book in my hands and I am refusing to move forward with this technology for a little while longer.
