It was $219 in April after some crazy special at frys.com (and that included the leather case). I like it. A lot. Nope, it's not the coolest looking reader out there, but it's running a simple version of Linux, it's intuitive to use, and it has a directory structure. Paired with Calibre, I'm hoping this tides me over until some of the ebook reader/platform/format craziness shakes out.

The casing appears fairly cheap, it's not intuitive to use at all and after five minutes of use I felt for anyone who'd chosen this as the one to buy. There are so many options out there now, this doesn't even come close to being competitive. I got a look at the EZReader last month and I would not recommend it to anyone.
