This is the lowest price that this has been for sale at and is an excellent alternative to the Kindle paperwhite.
I bought one of these last year and use it with a large library of Amazon purchased Kindle books (via Calibre) as well as ePub books downloaded for free from my local library.
Will be in stock after 31st and buying from Amazon means the usual peerless customer service.

There's a free program called Calibre that will convert any format to any other (and lose the unsightly DRM in the process). I used it to jump ship from Kindle to Kobo. Pretty easy process.

Agreed. They were always available but Amazon priced them significantly higher than they were available elsewhere (at times higher than the actual RRP), which makes the current price all the more incredible.

I would like to know a few things before I purchase one of these.
1: Whats the battery life like
2: Does it have a micro SD slot?
3: Would it display PDF magazine files clearly? (obviously not in colour)
4: Can it play such things as MP3 music while you are reading?
Thanks

The other thing to check is if your local library does ebooks - as these are supported on Kobo, but not Kindle - for free - then well worth getting a Kobo, for lots of free books.
e.g. Birmingham allows you to borrow 3 books (with DRM) and they are 'returned' after 2 or 3 weeks
