$40 is pretty expensive (because they have to include a receiver too).
That page has different modules.
Do you mean the one where you have to clip a receiver to the screen?
Wouldn't you rather have something that doesn't occlude the screen, that is only one piece?
Doesn't that work on infrared signalling?
It can't work with your hands under the covers.
On the normal Bluetooth ones I still see the standard complaint that they think that they are qwerty keyboards and disable on-screen keyboards unless you override it.
As I said, this is all a crap shoot because by the time you order the one your friend ordered and liked they have probably already changed the supplier/software.

It definitely does work with your hands under the covers...that's how I use it. It doesn't "occlude the screen", because it only needs to be touching the screen about 1/8" in from the side, and I like margins in my ebooks. I guess if you set your books so that the text goes all the way to the edge, this wouldn't work for you. It works great for me, though, and is a wonderful solution for keeping my hands under the covers while I read in bed. Also, because the actual remote is attached to my finger, I don't lose it if/when I fall asleep while reading.
Sorry that it's not something that you're interested in, but maybe there are other people that may find it just as wonderful as I do.
