Bought mine a year ago, and love it. It’s fundamentally changed how I read and write —no more papers, easy to get PDFs and textbooks onto it through my Mac or phone. If you’re an academic and read a lot, it’s an invaluable way to do your eyes a favor and also eliminate distractions. Had an Ipad and disliked the backlight. Also, not sure what people are saying on here, but the writing fidelity is some of the best I’ve ever seen (used to work in pen-based interfaces). It’s not a glossy screen like ipad, it’s matte, there’s friction. The size of it too makes it perfect for reading academic PDFs and textbooks galore. Yes it can be slow, but I’m not on it to play games or whatever. I’m on it to read.
