I've never been that bothered about an e-reader, but at this price they are starting to get tempting.

is that the one you can hack to run Android (and perhaps more importantly Kindle app and Google play Books)?

I have one - bought it in the Spring when the £30 was supposed to be a special limited time price!
It's a nice little e-Reader, worth having a ply in the store first just to make sure you can read it comfortably and that you can navigate around. I don't think it is easily hackable as it is not a full on tablet (has an E Ink screen), but you can load ebooks from several different sources (including a lot of local libraries) so there isn't a tie in to one store like you get with Kindle. Have a look on the Kobo website and I'm sure you'll find some books that you'll like (they frequently do promos / competitions for money off certain books as well). For £30 it's definitely worth a go - if you don't like it you can always sell it on. |

Not sure if you can with the Kobo or not - I know you can with the Nook.
