The 121 Euros I paid here in the States [delivered] seems about right, maybe I would pay a little more for the red one.

I cannot post a screen shot of mobi/prc books but they look great! Very readable and better than they look on my GF's Kindle, IMHO. My only complaint about the jetBook is that the buttons seem a little cheap and I would change the arrangement. The slide button on the right sticks a little, but , again for the price, it's great!
I agree, I have a jetBook and a Sony PRS505, and I don't think I've turned the Sony on more than once or twice since I got the jetBook, and then only to compare the screens.

The build quality of the jetBook seems to be considerably less than the Sony, but since build quality is a highly subjective call, only time will tell. I’ll let you know if the buttons start falling off. And I would NOT pay 300€ for either.
