First Impression
Hey Tai, turn this thing on
What ya mean? It's already on!
Huh? Wow!
It looks exactly like a book, unlike a digital device at all

Size
Friend 2: It's portable, I like it
Friend 1: Ain't it too small?
I: If it's too small you can try DX

Display
Predictably, only black and white. Expect color in near future
Page transition isn't very smooth
PDF files can be copied to Kindle via USB or sent via Wi-Fi. But font size need to be enlarged in computer before being copied to Kindle
Graphs and formula are very well displayed
Graph process is slow
Landscape mode
Kindle can't improve scanned PDF quality
You still need to use light in darkness
Reading under sunlight is great, no reflection
