I've got three stores in a 5 mile radius that could sell me a Tolino Shine 6" (Carta 1300) for 119 €.

That's not a bad device if what you want to do is read and not spend all your time hacking it.

Edit: Diving into the reviews it doesn't seem there is much to recommend this. No Adobe Digital Editions DRM. Web browser is not a serious effort. Complaints about sorting, etc.

The funny thing about reviews, some people new to it all will give things 5 stars because they have no expectations. "Wow, I can read a book on the subway!"
