Not too bad
I got one and have to say it's not too bad. I'm happy enough. With the page turns I just press the button as I am coming to the end. It's a bit like going from diesel to petrol car - you just need to get ready in advance for the overtaking but all in all it is more cost efficient and lasts longer.
I got it for £165.99 on www.buyingcheap.co.uk - £24 cheaper than the original price Borders were selling it for.
