Kindle Ebook Reader

Three years ago, Amazon.com set out to design and build an entirely new class of device—a convenient, portable reading device with the ability to wirelessly download books, blogs, magazines, and newspapers. The result is Amazon Kindle. The Kindle Ebook reader has More than 90,000 books available - along with the Top U.S. newspapers including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post; top magazines including TIME, Atlantic Monthly, and Forbes—all auto-delivered wirelessly. Kindle's Revolutionary electronic-paper display provides a sharp, high-resolution screen that looks and reads like real paper. Most amazing is that it weighs only 10.3 ounces, less than the average paperback book.

Foxit’s eSlick ereader now supports EPUB, puts Kindle to shame

Written by evvo on

From: kijo.co.uk

Foxit's eSlick isn't exactly the most exciting ereader of all time, but now things have changed slightly with the addition of EPUB support, making this $259.99 device a more affordable (although less pretty) alternative to the Sony Reader, and a more flexible option than the Kindle. We looked around and have yet to spot the new firmware's download link, but chances are devices shipped this month will come preloaded with the new code. Still, Barnes & Noble's identical price tag will easily overshadow this in a few weeks -- hello Nook, goodbye eSlick.
