I just got a Penstar eNote Pro from Amazon. Considerably cheaper than the Scribe Colorsoft, comes with 128 gig of storage, its own magnetic cover, stylus, Kindle app already installed, works with epub out of the box (although it had done some odd word breaks at the right margin), and although it doesn't have Google Play there is a list of available APKs you can use to load FireFox, KOReader and other things. So far I'm enjoying it. Takes a little while to start up (probably because of the 128 gb) but once it's on it's reasonably responsive. Battery life is way better than my iPad, but that's a low bar.
