The Guardian had a highly positive review about two weeks ago, and (hope I'm right) I think it has not been linked to on this board before:

To me, the big pluses are ePub and, of course, price. Given the planned introductory price, it might be just a couple dollars on Black Friday 2013.

The big minus would be the need for a smartphone. It seems to me that people who can't afford a basic Kindle or Nook also can't afford a smartphone.

Do any techies here have an opinion on whether a bluetooth wireless adapter such as this would allow use from a PC, preferably via Calibre:

Cheaper yet:
