Well this sucks if it is not leftie friendly as the price and features had me sold.

#12The speed improvements are impressive. Wonder though if there is any physical change in the display? It seems to be identical, was hoping they could bring something with a whiter background.

#13I so badly wanted the first one. This one looks even better. However, with twins on the way probably still not in the cards, but damn I can dream.

wondering if that's just an assumption by the author -- can you not just rotate it 180°?

Dunno if the privacy is any better, but you can at least view it with adblockers on.

#16> " The new tablet is just 4.7 mm (0.19 in) thick, thinner than the iPad Pro and Sony’s competing Digital Paper tablets, both of which are 5.9 mm. " At that thickness, I'd be worried about sturdiness and, in particular, bending, à la the problems with the iPhone 6. I can stick an iPad Mini or similar tablet into a jacket pocket or backpack and jog a couple of miles to a bus stop daily without concern. Will we be able…
The problems with the phone is that it's often carried in pants pockets. I don't think something of this size will have the same kind of forces applied to it.
This is much larger than a phone which increases the effects of small bends. I managed to break one of the early large-format ebook readers with a glass display in a jacket pocket, for example.
I happen to have Sony's competing 13" e-paper tablet already and I'd be nervous about putting it into a backpack without something non-bendable next to it to prevent flexing.

Thank you! This is why I read HN comments before (or instead of) the article.

Has to be that way. Same as Kindle Oasis.

It has a physical design with an up and down, so you would have it upside down, with the buttons on top.
