Although the review is a bit shallow, it at least provides a starting place for people to begin their own investigations. I notice, though that the don't include the EcoReader (Hanlin clone).
They had the BeBook Mini which is identical to the Eco Eclipse (and realistically other than the 5" having a toggle wheel on the right and the 6" having volume buttons instead they are essentially identical units. Take those away and you have a 5" with 8-greylevels vs 6" with 16-greylevels).

I think the comparisons were pretty poor. It is more of a list of ereaders that are easily available to Australians (and in Australia).

Be careful though, the new Kindle is priced at $189AUS and the Kobo $199AUS according to cnet (untrue for both). For the life of me I cannot fathom why there is so much emphasis on wifi/3g. If I can sync with my computer I am happy, wifi/3g is icing on the cake.
