I love mine and have been reading every day on it.

$150 7-inch Android tablet from Augen, coming soon
That was the one that caught my interest. But actually seeing "TheBook" (how original is that
) in the store for only $100 surprised me. What it does for that price will fill the need for some people. Perfect - no. Good enough - yes.
By the way, both sites crow about how well it works with DRM!
Strangely Kmart says -
"It is Adobe DRM licensed for downloading capability from any source including Amazon, Kobo Books, Barnes and Noble and many others!"
And Augen -
"DRM: “Digital Rights Management”
"A security software similar to MP3 anti-privacy software which protects authors and their publishers against their works being copied. The various web sites use different security formats and TheBook™ by Augen supports all formats for ease of downloads. DRM/SDK9 software included!"
That DRM stuff sure sounds great. Can we get us some too Paw?
They must really be working on it's continual development. The one in the store did stuff that wasn't mentioned on their own web site.

EDIT
PS - Thanks VentureForth. I did search MR for Augen and found a ton of stuff. I guess that until I actually saw one in person I simply didn't SEE it. That's what I get for being an eInk snob.
