stgreek · 11-12-2008, 03:34 PM

Hello all. I have been using my N800 with FBReader for quite some time and since I have read so many good things about E-ink readers I thought I might try one during my upcoming trip to South America. I would therefore like to buy a cheap E-ink reader, since I am not yet prepared to invest upwards of 300 Euros for something I might not like.

I have read here many times that you can easily find older e-ink readers very cheap on places like Ebay, but in the last month I have not found a single good offer. I would therefore like to give it a try here: Is there anyone who would be interested in selling their old E-ink reader for less than 100 Euros? Something like the PRS-500 would be great, and I would be prepared to pay a bit more if the reader was newer (although I understand that 150Euros for a Cybook might not be realistic). I live in the Netherlands, so a sale in the EU would be preferred, but other places are not excluded.

Let me know if you have something for me!

Thanks,
Stavros
