The BeBook is a Hanlin V3. In the US they are sold as the EZ Reader (or you can order the BeBook from Europe). There is a forum here for the Hanlin. The best place to get an EZ Reader is probably
FRYS.com. The standard list price is $299, but Fry's often has sales. We know that the EZ Reader will be on sale July 4th and 5th at Fry's, with likely the best price of the year, see

I have three EInk readers, and I like my EZ Reader the best. It is a no frills device with solid hardware and good software. It also supports an alternative 3rd party firmware, but the original firmware is also good. It can read lots of DRM-free formats, but the EZ Reader is about to switch from MOBI to Adobe ePub/PDF for DRMed (encrypted) ebooks. You will have the option of picking one or the other (MOBI or Adobe), but if you are starting from scratch I suggest picking Adobe even though MOBI is currently more popular in the US. Adobe is what is on the Cool-er and the Sony Readers.
