Remember, the 10 euro price is only bundled with a cellphone contract. It is supposed to be sold to telecoms who then try to sell it to the casual-reading masses. Like that is going to work.
10 euros and it's likely going to added 5 to 10 euros per month contract of 2 years. So real cost would be 130 to 250€... ;D

One cheap reader... And I don't trust the mobile providers to aim for quality user experience, after initial sale they got buyers in these type of deals if they use the service or not...
