I have
one a similar model, only it's branded the Elonex 700EB. It's a decent e-reader and selling in the UK for 79lbs. I'll post a review in a few days.
I haven't tried pictures, but it's really good with video. It did 720p without dropping frames and it had good image quality.
Deathsman, if you're feeling adventurous, there's a firmware on the Elonex website. It might fix that problem you're having with the Next1 remembering your place.

And the screen
on my unit is 800x480, not 800x600.
For a $90 e-reader, it is very nice.
