I was in a HMV store in London today and noticed this tablet/reader.

Thought I would mention it as it didnt seem to get noticed here:
It is called the ViewQuest BookBox.

It seems mainly targetted as a reading device, as it did not allow me to do anything, but scroll and read through a menu of books.

The most interesting feature is its display:
As the spec says: "Display - 5" Anti-Glare LED Backlit TFT".
The display felt different like muffled by an anti-glare screen and quite good too.

At that price, it looks quite a good option, but the battery life seems to be a let down.
