I'm quite interested in this for reading in bed without a light. I'm currently using my iPhone, but the screen is pitifully small and iBooks kind of sucks. A bigger backlit screen would be perfect for me.

Well, I can report it works for reading in bed
You can turn the brightness way down and read comfortably. Lying in bed, the gravity detection of orientation was almost too sensitive, however. The joystick was extremely handy for navigation in the dark, as the keyboard is not backlit. Knowing the home button was the top button on the right side and would bring me to the top level memory was also useful.
it also has speakers (POOR) for music. However- and again I would be very receptive to help - when I started a song and then went to the Library to open a book, the music stopped! I know the iPad is a failure at multitasking- but being able to listen to background music while reading has been a feature of inexpensive eBook readers for a while. When Augen opens support up to direct contact during the week, I am going to be bugging them about a bunch of things
