Archos 7?

kdf9511 · 08-11-2011, 03:39 PM

Well it has finaly come time to replace my beloved Astek Pocket Pro since it seems to have died and now I don't know what to get.

I have a feeling that I will end up with a Pocketbook 360 for carrying around at work but I have also been thinking about an Android based one for toting around on the motorcycle for reading around the campsite at night.

Well today I got an email from Tiger Direct with the Archos 7 on sale for $99.00. I'm really tempted to try this out to even see if I would even use it much. So I'm wondering if anyone here has used one as a reader and if so what software do you use? I'm looking for something that will read epub, txt, rtf. If it could read lit it would be a plus. Right now I'm using a Acer netbook with coolreader. I really like how coolreader works on the netbook and on the ole Pocket Pro.

i wouldn't pop for this one - as one reviewer pointed out, it is the 'cupcake' version (running 1.5)

JMHO, YMMV

The more I looked into it, the more I decided this isn't the one for me right now.
