It really does not have any more eye strain than a regular book, because there is no backlight. The 2.0 sounds decent, but I don't think it is enough to justify an upgrade. The Text to Speech doesn't really add much value for me. The sleakness and the page turn speed seem nice, but neither one really bothers me currently. The resolution increase of the 2.0 sounds pretty good, but only for pictures in Newspapers and Magazines. The rez for the text is perfect. I hope this device really takes off and encourages people to read more. I have a first edition, and I think it is incredible.
