Unless you can hide the full screen book cover display at the bottom I think that'll be very distracting.

I wonder how that screen works... surely it's off most of the time... otherwise you'd need a honking huge battery to keep it alive for 10 days.

eInk keeps state without power. The Kindle displays famous authors and book covers when it's off. The side-effect of this, you can measure battery life in mostly 'page-turns' as it uses power to update the display, but not while you're reading.

the bottom display is a color lcd touchscreen, it's not e-ink.

Ah, next time I'll make sure to read everything before chiming in.

Where is the keyboard, I don't see how you would search for a book by title. The videos only showed browsing pictures of books.
