Wanted Ebookwise + charger Around $100USD

Hi all,

I'm interested in a Ebookwise reader + memory card + charger. Not too fussy about case cosmetics but the screen must be in great condtion, of course! Oh. and the unit should be fully funtional. Not much to ask for.....

Either that, or if someone has a charger and someone else has a reader....Well, I could get both and make everyones closet a little cleaner, and it's not even spring..(Maybe it is...I lose track at times)

Feel free to reply or PM.

Um... by who's definition? e-Ink devices are already usable and they do sell in the hundreds of thousands of units, so I think they are marketable too.

I do wish you good luck finding yourself an ebookwise. How much are you looking to spend? A "new" in is about about $135. I'd say that's pretty close to your "around $100".

OK, so I'm looking for the whole box and dice: funtional Ereader with screen in great condtion + memory card + charger + shipping to Singapore for Under $100 USD.....

Some good points, Bob.

I've been looking into wholesalers at al, and the quality of the product for the price just isn't justified, IMHO.

The contast isn't great on most E-ink devices, the "Flash" between page turn, no intergrated lighting + being outside the US and propritory book format "war" + DRM.... it's just not quite there for the average consumer.

If it was, seeing someone with an Ereader wouldn't be a thing to comment on.
