Hmmm....well, i won't call this exciting news. 29,000 yen seems reasonable for a refurb, not exactly closeout models pictured. the price in japan for the device is still 37,000 yen or more, almost everyway. The librie's the in the pic appear to have the price tags of softmap, a well known refurb store of used electronics. so an 8,000 yen discount for a used model seems like normal pricings to me.
i suspect the librie is more of an experiment than something sony will put a lot of support behind. i think they are probably testing e-ink for use in future techonologies as well.
