Interesting. Would you say Topolsky's praise of the snappiness of the OS, the keyboard's usefulness, and the browser's handiness are overstated?
If the Paperwhite had some of that tablet-like functionality, that'd be great.
I initially dismissed the Paperwhite, but those three features made me pause. They could give the Paperwhite the edge over the Nook's hardware pageturn buttons and cheaper adlessness.
Top of mind because I just spent an eternity (3 seconds ;] ) searching for a new book just loaded onto my Keyboard.
When the combo LCD/eInk comes in earnest[1], tablets and ereaders will converge. It'll be interesting to see how device use shifts then. Will we spend most of the time on our phones and tablets looking at eInk, Only turning on the LCD when we need it?
Battery life would be so amazing. And reading emails and other stuff might improve. I heard of a study that showed retention after reading on an LCD was worse than for deadtree.
Maybe I should design my latest browser-based project with "How would this look in greyscale?" in back of mind... at the very least it would solve any colorblind issues.
