Nate do you know other details regarding it? I thought I heard that it used user replaceable batteries? If so, can it use rechargeable batteries and how long can one expect to get from a set?

Thanks,
Bill

New blog about the Mini. http://goodereader.com/blog/electron...r-from-ectaco/

The blog author apparently doesn't know the difference between the Lite and the Mini...

I found this info about jetbook mini from Moscow Book Fair:
http://www.the-ebook.org/?p=4426&cpage=1#comment-11326

Google translated it to English


She declared them 4,990 rubles.

4,990.00 RUB = 162.497 USD

Just my 2 cents but I'm not sure I'd want my touch screen to be on the reading screen. With my Nook it is below & that is where the mess remains. Does anyone have a touch screen on their reading pane? How do you like it? Does it get messy? I know you can wipe it as I do my Nook, but won't it eventually start marring the screen?

For the current low-end device prices, I'd say that $80 or $75 would be a much more "mini" price. But I would still be very tempted to buy one for $100 nonetheless.

Yea, the price seems a bit high, $129 is a sort-of normal price now but if its under 3 digits (>$100) than i'll expect on in my hands right away lol

I like it perfectly fine. Especially since I can turn the page from anywhere on the screen, I don't have to move my thumb or finger to a button or a specific area. The Sony touch screens have a type of matte finish that does not show smudges. It's not like the Nook LCD screen or the iPhone screen which have more of a shiny finish (and more reflectivity). The Sony screen does not get messy. I've been using mine for a year and a half without any visible wear on the screen. If I were to replace it I would get another touch screen reader and would be willing to pay a small premium for touch.

Well, it's finally arrived, and the price is $100.00.
