A cheap alternative to Amazon's Kindle and Sony's Digital Reader

Let's face it, the two best eBook reader (Amazon's Kindle at $359 and Sony Digital Reader at $399) is not that exactly cheap even for book lovers. Kindle is packed with features including wireless capability while Sony is well... it's Sony.

Fortunately, there's a new player in town... the eSlick which is from the same company that made Amazon's Kindle. This eBook reader is cheaper though with an introductory price of $230 ($259 after it launches) and will be available in black gray or white.

It doesn't have the wireless capability like Kindle but not everyone needs the news delivered to their reader. It can accept PDF, TXT and other printable documents on its 128MB built-in memory (expandable up to 4GB microSD). Connectivity is via USB and it also has a built-in MP3 player.

hi calvin,

thank you for your reply to my query. if you don't mind me asking, i would like to know the mode of payment?

if its thru visa card, i have a problem with it lately so i thought of if you can do the purchase for me? i am willing to pay the base amount, plus any amount that you would like to charge for accomodating my request, and a link maybe from my blog to yours.

if you're okay with this setup, please email me pinoydads[at]yahoo[dot]com[dot]ph for the details you would like me supplied. any payments will be thru bank-to-bank transfer.

regards.

coolbuster, you can use Paypal. It's much easier that way. also, i think .com.ph is much more expensive.
