This 'cruz reader' seems to be an iPad competitor, and a little different from a regular eReader, where abouts have you seen them for sale in NZ? I wouldnt mind having a look myself, as Im on the lookout for a reasonably priced device to read colour magazines and comic books.
I was looking at the borders website but just realised that was through the states not NZ for the cruz reader, sorry. But to get the cruz reader from overseas seems to be the cheaper way to go anyway. Its ridiculous how much you have to spend in NZ. Is your sony reader the new pocket edition? Or the 650? Or something similar? I'm liking the sound of the sony 650 but I prefer the price of the pocket edition lol. We don't need one with the whole wifi or 3G features. Just a straight forward e reader will be perfect. A computer is enough for the whole internet browsing and networking etc in my household. Any help with this would be great. Desperately need to get an ereader with Xmas fast approaching.
