I bought one brand new in the packaging via ebay for around $40.00 I think back in the 90's. The batteries only lasted about 4 hrs on a charge as I recall, and it was dot matrix style printing on the screen. Then mobipocket stopped supporting it and newer books couldn't be read on the ebookman after that. Kindle is a lot better tech.
