I bought one when they were $80. They are pretty good. I have a Sony Pocket Reader, a much better machine, but I got the Slick because it has the advantage of having the SD-card slot, and can read some PDFs better as it doesn't try to "translate" (don't know the term) but just presents the page image. And because you don't need a light to read it in bed.

I'm kind of burying the lead sentence here, but I was at Big Lots the other day, and I noticed that they not only had the Slick for sale, but they had the Sony Pocket Reader, for the same price! Refurbished model, but still, a very good deal. I grabbed one for my wife.
