Replacing the PCB costs 50 euro, replacing the screen 125. I already bought a as good as new secondhand BeBook Mini for 90 euro. I continued the book I was reading on my HTC Desire and with the right setting its doable on an AMOLED screen (Black background, grey text), but it wasn't of course as good as an eInk screen. But it's far better than reading from LCD.
And still I couldn't wait to have a replacement ereader.
I like the Mini even better. It's a sort of rubberish material that feels nice, smaller, faster and with an extra page turn switch on the side. The only bad thing is: no OI yet.

That's also the Hanlin V5 as is the BeBook, isn't it? It's great. Since there is no OI yet for this ereader, what is the best firmware currently available?
