Hi John,

Quote:
RSCUDDER I followed your link and it also states within the same add that the unit is available in white - so I presume it will be at the same price.
Unfortunately, although that would be logical to me as well, I just checked, and the white Aluratec is still listed at Newegg for $159, w/ $2.99 shipping.

It is possible the Sears link posted may have both at the same price (although they have tax and higher shipping costs). As well, once Borders starts carrying it sometime in July, they may carry both at the same price - also $119.

I do find that the contrast with the black frame is more pleasant to me. The paper color is noticeably different, since it is an off white color, against the white frame, and to me that is a little distracting, whereas I do not consciously notice that with the black frame.

Ideally, I'd like there to be a firmware update allowing white text on a black background - but that is just a personal preference. And I expect there are firmware updates that are a little higher in the queue.
