I haven’t seen it so this is not a review. This is just a heads up that another eBook reader has dropped below $100.00. At just $79.99 at Amazon and Buy.com this is an aggressively priced reader. I still like the Augen I reviewed better due to it’s ability to do other things and still act as a darn good eBook reader. However as a strictly dedicated eBook reader this looks pretty good.
If you have one or have reviewed it, please comment here and leave a link for your review. Amazon had several reviews on it that ranged from 1 star to 5 stars. Amazon also has skinw for the unit that allow you to "gussie" it up to your personal taste. You may have to call on price though, this appears to be a dramatic price drop from $144.00 and I've gotten inconsistent results on price using the Amazon link.
