Interesting translation:

>A spin metal finish is applied to the rounding and decimal selector levers, giving them a unique brilliance.

Naturally, they mean that the levers were faced off on a lathe, then maintaining that center, machined to size/shape --- nice touch given how the chrome plated plastic buttons on my PRS-505 e-book reader wore down after years of use.

If I’m not mistaken it appears the regular S100X has these too. The only difference really seems to be the lacquer finish, and maybe the navy display.
