Agreed: It was cheap.

Already had a dedicated ereader, but was interested in moving up to a slightly larger color screen. I got my daughter an iPad for Christmas and saw the potential there, but also saw some limitations in the cost and the proprietary-ness of it.

I found an android based reader that could be "opened" for general purpose tablet-style usage. It was cheap; lower cost than my smaller b&w dedicated ereader. I thought it would be worth the risk of getting and trying out without the huge financial bite.

Now I not only read books (and comics) but also play games, browse the web, use some productivity apps ala PDA, and fiddle around with customizing the look and feel of the interface.

Oh, and it was cheap. Has anyone mentioned that yet?
