Some newspapers go as far as stating “it's the next big thing after the iPod, the BeBook is like an iPod for books.”

...it's value for money: most formats, a complimentary leather case and thousands of books included.

It's more expensive than the Amazon Kindle, and for that I get a complimentary leather case and thousands of books - ripped without further editing from Project Gutenberg? What a great deal indeed. You forgot to mention the ear phones and the USB cable.

New Update : MobiPocket support... This means BeBook owners now have access to virtually any new book released.

Where is the promised update? Why make a press release if you know that you cannot deliver in time?
Anyways, if you want to get a better impression of the company behind BeBook (who, oh the irony, also produces and
promotes covers for the Kindle), check out this interview video:
