чесно, с одной стороны впечатляет вес, габариты, ресурс работы без подзарядки - неделя в оффлайне, или больше суток в онлайне.
но... 4 градации серого на мониторе :( как-то не лепятся с sharp, high-resolution screen that looks and reads like real paper. это скорее газетное качество. цена - 400 баксов. отовариваться литературой можно только в амазоновском магазе :(

идея вообще отличная. я очень давно такое искал. таблетки таки тяжолые, а на палме читать тока текст. пдфка уже не катит.

будем ждать когда корейцы зделают такова же в 5 раз дешевле, без привязки к мобильному оператору и амазонскому магазину. а если еще зделают хотябы 256 градаций серого и добавят пдф читалку - будем брать.
