I've been looking into getting an ebook reader. This one sounds like a really good deal. The list of 100 free ebooks is impressive. I'm curious about the price, too. I'd like the black one, but if the white one is cheaper for the same quality product I'd buy it instead.
Just got word back from Aluratek.
The $120 is actually a temporary promotional price for the Aluratek site. It will go back up to $149 for both
the black and the white.... BUT.... The Libre is also available for pre-order through Borders right now at $119.99 for both colors!
Oooh, tempting...
I've actually decided to start saving money up for a Nook. I was thinking about the Sony, but I ended up liking the features of the Nook quite a bit more. Then compared to the Kindle... well, it has better features, too. Like the expansion card slot. They've also addressed and fixed a lot of the software issues. AND you can change the color of the back plate. :p
I'm too much of a stickler for quality, design and features. It doesn't allow me to be cheap, probably why I don't have very much stuff but what I do have is pretty nice. ha
If it weren't for the controls on this puppy, I'd probably consider getting it and then maybe even modding my own case for it. Ah well..
^ Seconded... Although i may spring for the nook light when and if it comes out instead (No 3g, just WIFI) as i hate AT&T (years of s***y customer and cell service till i switched to verizon) and dont download my books off the stores... i usually use my laptop for that kind of thing...
I don't really need features like wifi on the ebook reader. I have a netbook, a desktop, and wireless internet on my cell phone. I like it because of the price and the included book selection. I looked at the preorder on Borders.com and only saw the black one, but that's the one I wanted anyway.
