Thanks Coldsun.

Your post encouraged me to find out more about the Nokia 810 that's been out for a year and that I always figured was very expensive. I like that its got a transreflective lcd screen, standard nokia batteries (easy to get loads of replacements), has a big community and is backed by a company that care about their products and reputation.
I found one for AUD329, which ain't bad (approx USD250), which is a heck of a lot cheaper than other places around here (approx AUD600). It's a brand new import from HK but something I'm seriously looking at because of the price, flexibility and importantly the screen. One thing that really worries me about the smartq is if something goes wrong there's pretty much no fallback and you're AUD 310 out of pocket. I love the idea of the 7 inch but hate reflective screens.

Coldsun, would you recommend the N810 as a starter ebook reader at AUD329 ??
