The eSlick home page now says:
Quote:
Good news: Foxit is currently working with different content providers for DRM PDF support, including the support for eReader format.
This statement is ambiguous: does it mean standard eReader ebook support and DRMed PDF (or what)? With or without eReader ebooks, the "DRM PDF" could be eReader DRM (i.e. not Adobe Secure PDFs, but another Secure container for PDF). FictionWise is already taking about eReader DRM for ePub, so this seems possible.

In any case, this does make the eSlick an even more interesting new entry into the ebook market. I wonder if this device is what scuttled the original Astak Mentor. Price and features are sounding familiar, although the PDF capability is what Foxit uniquely brings to the table.
