This is a nice looking keyboard. But not enough F keys for me:).

Nice idea but the keyboard around the trackpoint is missing. The concept behind the trackpoint is that you can control the mouse pointer while your fingers are resting on asd and ;lkj.
Checkout Tex Shinobi or Shura if you like Keyboards with Trackpoint.

Mine is not comparable with the Early Kindles but it comes close to the Oasis with the tiny Battery. I have to charge it every 1 - 2 Weeks. Wifi is disabled, Bluetooth turned on. I only use the Koreader App, sometimes Wikipedia.
Powersafe triggers after 24h of inactivity what really rarely happens because I read every evening.

Was in the same situation last year and gave up waiting for a new Oasis or Voyage. Bought an Android Reader (Boox Go Color 7) with Buttons. Battery life is comparable to the Oasis, Buttons are OK. The Oasis is much better made. I really enjoy the App Koreader and the support for Bluetooth Remotes. I transfer my Epubs remote via Calibre.

OT: How happy are you with the Note Air 3C? How long last the battery? Any Problems with the build quality? I've read a lot bad stuff about the device and have mixed feelings
