Newegg Slashing Price on Many Readers

Lady Fitzgerald · 06-15-2010, 05:02 PM

I got the usual ad from Newegg today (the day after I ordered a reader, fortunately at the sale price) and they have cut e-book reader prices from roughly $30 to $150. Might be worth a peek.

Thank You! Now I am the Happy owner of an Astak Mentor for $154.00 (with shipping).

Good for you. The Aztak Mentor at newegg.ca is $249.99 in Canada. Bahh, humbug!

For anyone else reading this, Newegg's sale is over. Prices are back up to the normal ridiculous.

Someone please help me. I dont want to spend $3000 on the E-ink prototype kit. which is the best e-reader which I can use in root mode to do some programming? I need it for a concept product

Is the PRS 300c good?

Check out the Open Inkpot project. They support two different readers with custom code that you could modify. Cybook and eSlick also have published their Linux kernel code, which gives you a place to start.

Good luck on this. Do let us know which you system you pick.
