I looked at the data sheet and it looks a LOT like the Slick reader. The only difference I can see is the page advance buttons are separate rather than grouped on the right as in the Slick.

I'm almost tempted to do a firmware upgrade of Aluratek's on the Slick and see what happens.

I'd hate to brick my reader, but the Slick firmware is astonishingly crude and I've yet to successfully sync with Borders site, even after going through all the signup stuff.

There is a firmware update 1.3.8 for the Slick ER700-2, but I can't tell the difference really. It added no new features I could discern.
