Spring Design has created the best dual-screen Android eReader to date, but we wish it cost less. If you want an E-Ink experience, the Alex is speedier and more versatile than the similarly priced Sony Daily Edition, and less awkward than the netbook-esque Entourage Edge.

The Alex has a ton of potential, it just doesn't have enough books or connectivity options to justify its $399 price point today. The Nook and the Kindle both go for $259, and both are equipped with 3G access. The form factor and the ability to (semi)-legitimately browse the web on an e-reader is great, but this device is for reading books. Wait for the summer updates and the 3G version to arrive, but by then we'll probably be looking at an entirely different e-reader / tablet ecosystem.
