For $80, the Augen TB seemed like a great deal and decent eBook reader when I first got it in July. But, then my daughter found a Pandigital Novel for $128 (after rebate and coupons) and I found a Sony PRS-600 used for $100. So the Augen TB was returned.

By comparison the Augen TB is wanting on many counts. If we didn't have both a color tablet and a decent eInk reader, I'd be tempted to keep a TB around.

If Augen comes out with a decent firmware update, a TB would be a very nice reader, with color to boot! So far, that hasn't been forthcoming, sigh.

Best, Mark
PS - a neighbor has picked up an open box TB for $40 from KMart. A TB meets the lower expectations of a eBook reader at this time for $40!
