You might also consider the Aluratek Libre. It is similar to the Jetbook Lite but it has an internal battery instead of AAs, supports Adobe Digital Editions DRM (the Jetbook Lite supports eReader DRM), has both a serif and sans serif font, and comes with a nice nylon pouch, 2GB SD card loaded with 100 ebooks, USB cord, earbuds and a battery charger. Right now they are on sale for $140 at BJs:

There is an excellent review of the Libre on Amazon by mayfavre:

I think Dell is currently selling them for $150. I bought mine a couple of weeks ago when they were on sale at Frys for $140. I am very happy with my Libre. It is highly readable outdoors and even in dim interior light. The higher contrast of its reflective LCD screen makes it easier to read than the E-ink readers (IMHO). It also doesn't have the annoying flash delay on page turns.
