If the link is bad just log in to ebay and search for PMP, when you see a 16:9 touch screen 8 GB for $70 delivered. That is the link. I bought one, and when folks at work saw it they ordered a couple more. Only TXT files, but decent battery life and screen. Minor issues like always having to set the background at bootup, but decent bookmarking and font changes. Does great on many video formats as well. Takes micro SDHC cards as well.

Now - to be honest, the devices I have set up for reading include multiple REB1200s, multiple REB1100s, a (dead) Heibook, rocketbook, Palm TX, Dell X51V, Argosy ibook, a couple of Sony PDA's (because of the replaceable batteries when on month long campouts), Nindento DS with 4GB of txt files, Nintendo GBA that holds a few dozen texts (excellent battery life), and a sony PRS500 that died the day after the warranty ran out (no big loss). As someone who cannot go to sleep without reading......

Anyway, for the price this is not bad. Not a primary reader, but a great backup. For reference the Jetbook is now my primary reading device when on the road. I like the screen MUCH better than the current crop of e-ink screens. (I returned a kindle2).

Sorry for the long post, but it does give you a reference to why I like this device.
