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).
Hi all,

I thought the "best" tag was subjective at the very least, and the exclusion of the EcoReader (with its new, lower price) was poor. Clicking on the link to "Full Review" did provide far more information, though more comprehensive reviews are available elsewhere.

Pricing for the Kobo is out of date - it is now AUD$180-ish. I can't see too many people shelling out nearly $570 for a BeBook Neo with the Aussie dollar at near-parity with the US dollar.

I'd be wary too, of a review rating of 9+ with only a handful of user reports back. Far too small a sample size.

I thought the information provided was generally not too bad, though.

Cheers,
