Where to buy Hanlin V3 in UK?

rainbowworrier · 07-21-2009, 07:21 AM

Hello all,

Thanks to this friendly and informative forumhttps://www.mobileread.com/forums/images/smiliesadd1/2thumbsup.gif I keen to buy a Hanlin V3 version 1 because it's got:

6" screen
replaceable battery
lots of supported formats
lots of supported languages.

That's the first lot of hard thinking done. Now, where do you suggest I buy from and which brand name should I look for? I am confused by all the rebranding and the wildly differing prices from distributor to distributor.

Bearing in mind that this is a new technical area for me (though I know a bit about computers), I may have to ask Technical Support a few questions before I've entirely got the hang of it.

Once again, many thanks for your help. Even though I've never actually read an ebook I have got a lot from taking part here!

The "official" dealer for Europe is BeBook, so that'd probably be a good bet.

You could also order directly from Jinke, but I think it'll turn out to be more expensive.

That's what I was thinking. I'll do the 25 Euro discount thing too.

I could shave a bit more off the price on eBay, but then I'm not sure how I would stand with technical support.

Blackwell's has announced that they will be selling the BeBook starting this week, see Blackwell launches the BeBook along with e-book store.

Rock 'n Roll! Blackwell are my totally favourite booksellers for paper books! They do foreign language stuff and act like it's totally normal for people to want to buy the Lord of the Rings in Russian!

Well I am DEFINITELY buying a BeBook. I just have to torture my husband into agreeing to buy me one for Christmas.

Pixelar.co.uk Cheaper than the BeBook and you can always download and install the BeBook version of the firmware.

(BTW, I have a slightly used one on sale in the Flea Market forum for 150 EUR that I bought at Pixelar)
