I just ordered and have received an Aluratek Libre Touch eBook Reader with WiFi AEBK08FB

Got it yesterday. It does have Android 1.5 - got lucky on that! Initially, I like it. The touch screen is a little tricky.
The menus are okay, it took a while to adjust; they're a little tricky. It's best not to just tap, but hold your finger on the screen, let it buzz, and then slide, for scrolling.
I'd like to customize the rss feed, instead of the default news at yahoo, but can't figure it out so far. Also, the main menus of My Books and My History are too cumbersome. I have probably over 4,000 books on a 16 gig card, sorted in folders, e.g., English Literature, etc., so I'm using the Explorer icon for finding and launching books. I'm sure I'll keep doing that. I'd like to just remove the default home screen to the Explorer, but doubt I'll be able to.
The battery seems fine. I'm happy with it so far. I gave it a full charge yesterday after receiving it and it's still on half a battery, with 4 to 5 hours of use. I haven't timed it, but I've used it a lot. Loading and configure has used a lot of juice too.
I'm happy with it so far. The screen is tricky, though...
Anyone else have one? Is this forum the right place to discuss it?
I've posted in the Ecacto forum but it doesn't seem the right one to me.
