That $5 also happens to be the amount that FCS states that "will be donated to sponsor a girl rescued from the sex trade in Cambodia."

Works for me - got one today, although having trouble syncing my existing Kobo library to it - get "something unexpected" from Kobo Desktop for each book, and no results from wifi sync. I can sideload non-DRM'ed epubs, and Adobe Dig. Ed's epubs, but those ADE epubs get message "not authorized" for my Adobe ID, although I authorized the Mini with ADE just before copying the 2 epubs over, and can still read them with ADE on the PC. Oh well, cook up the cabbages and get 'em all unencrypted if I have to - seems like a decent low-cost replacement for my Sony PRS-T1 with bad USB port that won't charge any more.
