I got a 1150 a year ago. It is the easiest and cheapest device to get in europe. I got mine off ebay, a brand new one for 120E including shipping.

The screen is very easy to read and the battery lasts 20 hours. I read every day and it lasts about one week to ten days.

The device is very easy to use and very very fast, with instant on and touch screen.

It has very easy and fast dictionary lookup (for us non english speaking folks!)

Almost every format can be converted in a perfect .imp file to be read on this device (I have become an expert).

I have not seen any e-ink device ever, but I believe the 1150 is the perfect device for anyone starting in ebooks. It is really cheap and really easy to use, as long as you are not afraid of computers and format converting software.

The 64mb card is enough for all the books you may want. I have around 20+books on my device and the card is around half full. Moving books to and from the pc takes only seconds.

Last books I read were Harry Potter, Atlantis, Next. Now am reading The Swarm (converted from mobi) and enjoying it a lot!
