And if I don't like it, I guess there's always ebay.
I vaguely recall that the X50 series was upgradeable to X51 spec software. Check Dell's website and/or the various internet sites devoted to such things.

For an epub reader, Freda will probably run. Check the threads here on MobileRead.

I still use my X51 for reading, even with the shaky digitizer and a couple of bad buttons. For some things, it's better than my jetBook. Enjoy.
