It's cheap, but you get what you pay for, low-end CPU with sluggish performance and with screen resolution at 171 ppi, not sure I would want to read for too long on it. Given the amount of time you are likely to spend in front of the screen, why not spend a little more and get something worthwhile? IMHO
An e-paper reader is much much better for reading. Long battery life, better contrast, much lighter.
For me, I'd never move away from Kindle.
E-Ink is the only option. I gave my son my older one and I am struggling to get him to stop reading since :)
I'd never buy a backlit ebook reader. Reflective technology such as e-Ink is the closest to the paper book experience. Unless for some reason you are the person who prefers backlit screens.
They never nailed colour on e-ink though. I get most ebook reading is b&w anyway so maybe the R&D costs outweight the market for colour.

I have a Kobo HD e-ink. I agree, E-ink is the only option for reading - I've haven't picked up a physical novel for some years.
