I held off on reporting on the Q7 because I wanted to make sure that
the seller was reputable (they appear to be), and that the device would make a decent ebook reader. Well, our friends at UMPC Portal have had one for about a week now, and they're deeply impressed. They've reported a 10+ hour battery life, and that the Q7 comes with FBReader. They've posted
severals times, and have added the following clip and gallery:

Q7 as EReader video

We have an ongoing discussion over
here.
P.S. MR will be posting a review of the Q7. A MR member by the name of
ColdSun has ordered one. We'll post his review once it's ready.
