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.
So? It's still cheaper than tablets of the same size.

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$.
Like ColdSun, I own a bunch of gadgets. I have a 3.5" iPhone, 4.3" PSP, 8.9" netbook, and 13.3~15.1" laptops. Also have an 8.9" Fujitsu tablet which costs more than three times the Smart Q7 on sale. I'm really liking the Fujitsu tablet a lot for use as ebook and comic reader, but it's a bit too expensive to be roughing up. I'd feel more comfortable "abusing" the Smart Q7 than I would my Fujitsu.
