Yup, agreed with griffonwing. This EZ Reader basic isn't really a big deal, its still using the old 200MHz Arms processor. All the new readers coming out are at least 400MHz. This sales is most likely to clear off some old stocks before the new stuffs comes in. And since the pocket pro is just 6weeks away plus its still a good $20 lower. Its a much better deal than this..

Also i guess also in Aug, Sony may be coming out with another new model, therefore the last border sales at $199 for the PRS-505(also a 200MHz processor) thus seems like there is going to be a big shift in the reader's market.

my guess is with Pixel-Qi in the pipeline to compete with e-ink, e-ink is going to have to lower their screen cost. All this time e-ink is having a monopoly. Its great for us when there are competition in the market.

Cheers...
