The buttons are clicky. Taking it out of sleep mode takes a couple of 
seconds, for whatever reason, turning pages takes a quarter second betwee
n 
button push and the page changing. Or, to put it another way, it takes 
longer to redraw the screen than to respond to the click.  A particularly
 
nasty PDF gives you an "opening page 3 of 7" kind of please-wait screen.

(Come now. Some of these things are a simple google away. :-)

  9.7" diagonal E Ink® electronic paper display, 1200 x 824 pixel re
solution 
at 150 ppi, 16-level gray scale, new 10:1 contrast ratio.

It's comfortable to read in all different reading environments. A dark ro
om, 
obviously, needs a book light.  It's pretty much like a paperback book, 
except a touch smoother so there's a bit of radiosity going on. No glare,
 
tho. It's pretty much the same e-ink that the nook and the sony readers 
have, so take a look at those for an idea.

Oh, and I found a very nice hard zippered case, as well as a hard plastic
 
clamshell and screen protector, if you take it traveling or something. I'
ll 
dig up the details if anyone cares.
