I've been looking for an e-ink device for quite a while. My requirement is pretty simple: good PDF and TXT support. I have quite a few good PDF files, some of which are of sorta complicated page format, like multi columns with charts or pictures. I dont really care about touch-screen or wifi fuctions, coz those are not necessary to me, and would only make the devices more pricy.

I just saw a review about the Foxit Eslick in another forum. The guy just got a new Eslick and attached many picures to show the display of different files, which really appealled to me. Now I'm pretty sure I'll get this one for my first e-ink reader, since I think it's better than the PRS 505 or other 6-inch devices in term of working with PDF.

A few quick references of the Eslick functionalities: PDF margin removel, fit-to-width, zoom in/out, go-to-page. Now the Eslick is about US$270~280 with shipping($259.99 without shipping), which is a little lower than the Sony's PRS 505.

PS. I didn't take these pictures myself. So here my special "thank you" the buddy who did this in another Chinese forum.
