I was at Fry's Electronics the other day and they had four devices on display, the jetBook, PRS-505, PRS-700 and something from Astak. Of the four the only one that actually worked correctly was the PRS-505. The jetBook appeared to have a dead battery. The Astak looked it had a crack in the display and a severe case of burn-in. (Which is weird since I didn't think an e-ink display would be susceptible to that.) And finally the PRS-700 seemed to be a little flaky in behaviour and the display was a little foggy.
