Yeah, I strip DRM off my Kindle books, and use Calibre so I can easily convert from AZW/Mobi to ePub.

So should I go for it?

EDIT: Just ordered it, was a Waterstones eBay auction, one unit probably on clearance, so decided to nab it before it went. I haven't read the included James Patterson book, so even if the reader sucks, I'll still get something good out of it :P
