The low-end eBw is only US$110. It has a USB interface and ergonomic features. The only "legacy" factor I can see is that the Smartmedia card is almost junque. Without the card it will still hold about a dozen eBooks -- good enough for me.

At that price I could see picking up one or two for hacking. It would make a great platform for an open-source reader software initiative.
Certainly would and the Smartmedia card could easily be hardware hacked for XD cards. They are electrically the same and you can already buy SM to XD card adapters. I do not know if the current rom would support greater than 128 Meg but then if you are hacking the OS this would be easy to fix.
