Got my Rocket e-book Pro just as I was driving away, and the UPS truck was coming. I'm on the road with not a lot of time to discuss it, and have only used it stand-alone so far, no downloaded books yet.

So far on a scale of 1-10 I would give it a strong 8.

What I like:
easy, clear readability
good backlight
long battery life
easy controls
good feel in the hand
nice browsing and search function
great touch screen.

What I don't like:
Page scroll buttons should be a little closer to the edges for better control with your thumbs.
Sound is a little weak, but this is a tradeoff on battery life, maybe an earphone jack would help.

More later.

I see we approved the tvgia merger. Hope the regulators agree.
