I'm really sorry I missed out on the sale -- I'd be perfectly happy with new-old stock, and I would actually prefer the silicone cover to the sleep cover.
If there is any difference between the screen of the Mini and the original Glo (other than size) I can't see it. Mini is perfectly readable and perfectly pocketable. I can't believe no one is making smaller ereaders...
I carry my Mini with me every time I leave the house, and what I do is, I turn the silicone cover around BACKWARDS to cover the screen and then tuck it in my shirt pocket (Mini fit test has become a required feature of shirt shopping.)
If anyone who now has a free Mini wants to sell and actually make a profit, let me know. I'd pay the $57 you spent and be thrilled!
Or if anyone just wants to sell the silicone case, PM me and we'll talk. I figure my case will tear someday as I constantly take it on and off, and I wouldn't mind having a few spares...
I would have ordered from Family Christian Store on Veteran's Day (and Semper Fi to any of my fellows on here) had I known they still had stock. I might break down and buy a couple at $60! I love the Mini, and I'm worried that no one seems inclined to produce a pocket sized ereader again. Six inch is too big to carry around!
I am cautiously optomistic that we might soon see a variety of open ereaders available from NTX, the Netronix/Eink merged company. A little more choice would be good!
