Ebook READER for Aussies
At long last a "low" price range ebook reader is available direct in Australia.
Called the ECO Book Reader....Seems to be much the same as the Be-Book Reader...only with many extra features...advertised selling price = AUD $449 But hey, why not watch the video. http://www.ecoreader.com.au/video.asp |

according to pcworld, "The Astak EZReader PocketPro has lots of great features for its price, but they don't make up for poor font options and subpar usability"

Well done and concise review. Feel like I would (and have) said the same things, the one addition item I'd add is the sub-micro menu font size. |
