I bought the Aluratek for 169 Cdn from Dell.ca too. It is reflective LCD screen, not eInk but I found the screen looks good enough for me. Boot up and page refresh seems faster than the Sony PRS505. I also bought a Sony PRS505 for 219 Cdn recently. Although I have not put them side by side for comparison, at first glance the Aluratek (rebranded Jetbook, M218A?) screen is not much worse than the Sony PRS505 in terms of clarity but I do need to tilt to avoid the slight glare.

Plan to look for a case for the Aluratek.

When I am more comfortable with the Aluratek, I also plan to explore how to add the dictionaries and might try the Chinese firmware from M218A or Jetbook later.

Does anyone know what do I need to do to read Chinese eBooks on Aluratek/Jetbook. Is it by adding fonts or language? Any helpful information is appreciated.
