My used Shine 2 came today. It was definitely worth the cheap price. I was able to download all my current Overdrive library books and also copied from my PC via USB a bunch of books I already owned. I haven't yet tried buying from a store directly on the Shine.
My Kobo Clara is better for reading in the dark - the Shine needs another light setting between two of the existing ones.
I think I will probably use the Kobo when I am at home. I will use and the Shine if I will be out and expect to want to download a new library book. It can also be my travel reader (not that I travel a lot) since if it got lost or stolen, at least it didn't cost much.
I ordered a cheap sleepcover from an ebay seller in the UK so it may not get here until early November. But I had an old Gecko cover for my Sony PRS-T1 that is almost the right size. It does partially block the buttons at the top of the Shine but wouldn't interfere with actual reading, and will at least keep the reader safe.
