I have it, I bought it from B&H this past spring for $100. Though I purchased it for my handful of comics and cookbooks, and for the ability to watch videos, I actually use it more for simple reading than I do my JBL. I really like the backlit screen--I keep the brightness at the lowest setting, but it's still bright enough to read in a dark room. It's a little heavy, but not onerous.

If you have a lot of files (thousands!) on an SD card, it is extremely slow to load them--as opposed to the JBL, which has no problem with them. I couldn't just pop my nearly full 8gb SD card from the JBL into the Libre Color--took forever to load, forever to scroll through pages. So what I do is just use a separate SD card in the Libre Color, and add current reading to it.

As a second reader, it's great. The colors are vibrant; the size of the screen is just about adequate for a comic book page. I've only tried a few videos; the sound is low so you really need to use earbuds. I'm happy with it and think it was well worth the $100. At $80, it's a real bargain.
