Today I saw the Sony Prs-300 for $99 at BJ's Wholesale Club.
The $99 price point is becoming MUCH more common and if I were still looking my first stop would searching with price low>high at Newegg for "ebook reader".
They had the Jetbook for around $120 and if it was that or The TB I'd get the JB for sure (and as I did before get a GOOD warranty too...).
I wrote my opinions of the 3 models I've had/used in another thread and of the 3 the Augen would be my last choice just because it is uncomfortably clunky for one-handed reading (like in bed...) and it is too 'buttony', as if they wanted to make it something else, but ran out of time to develop it and settled on it being just a reader...
That's my 2 cents anyhow.

Edit:
Just had to look..JB at Newegg is $89 - Astak Mentor is $99...I'd take either over the TB.

Best Wishes for Happy Reading !
