Where's Kyobo?

Primal · 11-09-2012, 05:33 AM

Hello everyone, hopefully someone can offer a little help.
I had intended to purchase the Kyobo EReader with Mirasol early in the year before leaving on a trip, but it didn't happen. Ended up going with my good old Nook.
Now I have the opportunity to buy, place my order at ShopEReaders, and bam...order cancelled. It's been discontinued. Apparently they don't actually carry the products they offer.
Anyone know where I might be able to find one? Nothing on Ebay, BuyKorea, etc. With the number of bad reviews I figured someone would be sick of theirs by now. lol.
I'd really appreciate anyone's help.

Hey I'm looking for a Kyobo ereader (Mirasol screen). Did you ever find one?

I've looked all over the internet and no luck! I'm sure there is someone out there who wants to sell one right?

Thanks!

Perhaps, EBAY will take "an Offer to Buy?"

It will be very difficult to find one because it has been discontinued.
You would have to purchased an used one and it isn't easy getting those either.
Realistically, you would need to find someone who speaks Korean because few of these readers appear in the used market of a e-book club in Korea.

It is selling for somewhere around $60.
The biggest problem with the reader (Mirasol display) seems that it develops dead pixels with use.
So the panel has very short life span.
Hope this helps
