Infibeam PI E-Book Reader an alternative to Amazon Kindle

InfiBeam PI is an interesting e-book reader which is cheap compared to amazon kindle and has got all the features that kindle has except for the wireless connectivity where kindle too has only connectivity to wikipedia and amazon store.
It comes at a price tag of 199$ which is half the cost of amazon kindle. I think this model is especially targeting india market since it supports many indian languages and gives access to over one lakh books from its Infibeam store.
The following are the specifications obtained from the website infibeam.com
Slim & Lightweight: Less than 10mm thick. Lightweight at 180 gm. Its lighter than a magazine. You'll never go back to reading paperbacks.
