It won't be a Kindle alternative at that price - 319.00 EUR =
$474.370 USD as of today.
Isn't the bebook already open source? Also costs less. I've been happy with mine so far.
I suppose you can use Bittorrent to get the books, but that is inconvenient and not nice to the authors. I agree that Amazon's DRM is annoying, but it is very easy to remove if you are morally opposed. (Sometimes I am in the mood to read on the computer, so I break the DRM for that.)
The hardware itself is also hackable. Jesse Vincent has written some software for the Kindle that lets you view any ebook on it; not just Amazon's.
