I don't understand all this buzz for this device.
Sure, it's seem cheap, but when you add shipping, Paypal fee and the eventual import taxes it's end in the 240-300$ range, ie more or less the same than the other readers.
And it's coming directly from China, meaning that if someday you need support/warranty it will be as best costly, at worse nonexistent.
Not to mention that the website selling the devices also sell fake Iphone and HTC devices, coming complete with pirated software and Apple/HTC logo. Cheap too. Hardly the kind of website where I would do my shopping.
And it's not like it's the only LCD device fit to serve as a reader.
If you are not convinced by E-ink, there are a lot of LCD device on the market.
If you want only an LCD ebook reader, there is the Jetbook.
If you need a multi-purpose devices, there are offerings in all screen sizes : 3.5" Ipod, 4" to 5" PDA, 7" to 11" Netbook, etc.
There are regularly good promotions on Netbooks, recently CompUSA had refurbished 9" Acer netbook with XP at 199$.
