Thanks, Zelda! Hi khilto01, I've been evaluating an ECO Reader for the past month, reading on it for a couple of hours each evening. I love it! Its a prototype, as the ECO Reader isn't available yet.
We're launching our ECO Readers on 20th August, but we're expecting delivery of our first batch in a week or so. We're accepting advance orders (and we've received a lot already!)
There's more info at
www.centralbookservices.com.au and
www.dadirect.com.
We're also launching an Australian ebookstore selling popular fiction titles on 20th August, based on OverDrive, so it's very exciting times for us! DA's been selling books for over 50 years and we've been selling a small range of academic ebooks for several years.
The ECO Reader is the Australian version of the HanLin V3, supporting Adobe Digital Editions and Mobipocket non-DRM, along with all the other formats usually supported by V3s. ECO Readers come pre-loaded with 21 nicely formatted ebooks, many of them Australian titles.
ECO Readers have an Australian helpdesk at DA and we support the manufacturers' 12 month warranties for all our ebook readers.
DA Direct is the largest full-service library supplier in Australia. Based in Melbourne, fully Australian owned, we have branches in Singapore and New York. Central Book Services is DA's trade section.
