Kobo 4.3" Color Pocket Reader $19.99
A really good price on the little Kobo ER430 Slick 4.3" Color reader with 2GB Storage & microSD Slot.
Not sure if this is the right spot to share, but figured I would pass on the info. Its a limited time offer, with only 11 hours left as of this posting, but worth a look if anyone is currently thinking about a ereader and wants something inexpensive to start out with! I imagine it is not as good as a Kindle or a Nook, but if you wanted something just to try out before really shelling out bigger chunk of money it could be worth a try.

It's not made by Kobo. It is a Chinese knock off product.

Don't waste your money.

The other already shows software problems and I haven't even loaded a book yet. The font size change on the built-in books doesn't work, and at one point various menu selections highlighted but didn't do anything when tapped. Cleared up after a power-off. You get about 4 words per line with the default non-resizable font. Really not worth the effort. I'd read it in landscape but that doesn't appear to be an option. And so far I haven't found any replacement firmware. For $15 it would make a nice touch-screen linux... I'll let you know if I can find a way in to it. Graham |
