ectaco it's sale madness and i knew this week was my day to find an ereader. Ok a bit of info i have an ipod touch, yes it's great, yes i use it for it's pda abilities, yes i use it for airsharing and read lots of pdfs(i'm going back to school and everything is in pdf now) but i wanted a bigger book.

i saw this from frys for 180$, which to me is 40% off when i googled it, i never saw this anywhere, and i did a search here, i found some reviews

the first one is about an older clone, and the one thing that hooked me, it is the holy grail of pdf devices, i said well thats what i've been looking for. i also read another amazon review, same thing i was looking for, some guy that reads lots of technical pdfs.

i mean this thing seems great for me, i don't do any ebook reading at all, i don't buy books i don't do nothing(which i know probably 95% of you all do) i want a device that i can take my pdf's to a cafe, to my porch(well not now since it's freezing) to the bathroom(ok lets be real some of us read in there) now i could and have done this on my touch but damn it's small, but it's nice the screen is beautiful and it's easy to navigate(oh i hate apple btw). and i can easily transfer(without conversion) though an sd card(i have like 10, 2gb micro sd cards lying around, really they are like cheap, they cost 5bucks each and everything from my cell phone to digicam to old mp3 player uses this memory option).

i'm gonna give a review, of this thing i already bought it form frys and it's free shipping too so it's a flat 180$, since the last reviews were in april(i guess when this thing was launched) oh and there's a mikev guy who i guess is a rep of this device, well i guess he's a rep but his posts sucks lol, why would you give a link to a device but make the link in cz??? at least put some effort and make it an english link, i mean you don't see mobileread.cz or .cn or whatever .ru

oh and it's graphite, so no wierd red colors for me, i can actually read this thing and not get embarressed at starbucks. i don't want to give a link since i don't want ppl thinking i'm some wierd frys rep or a ectaco rep, but you can just search ectaco on frys and find it, i'm posting at 5am right now(cuz i'm been looking for all these crazy black friday deals) and i'm tired so if you guys see this post and think like i did that you just want a pdf reader, well i just wanted to give a heads up, i mean it's saving lots of cash, i didn't want to spend 400 for a prs700 and find out the pdf support sucked or buy a 400 kindle thats even bulkier with bad pdf support but for 180, i'll chance it!
