Cheapest Device for Student Use

Aridese · 07-23-2007, 05:31 PM

Hey guys,

I've been following the whole e-paper thing for a while now; but only recently have I gotten seriously interested. As much as I'd love to have Wi-Fi and 400Mhz of CPU with the iLiad, the 700$ pricetag is too much for students. What's the absolute cheapest (while still functional... 6" screen, probably not LCD) device -- with whatever methods available to get it.. ebay/used/students discounts from mfr... not just MSRP.

Thanks!

Edit: gah, sorry about the title, didn't see the big U until later =/

If you want a Sony Reader, take a look at the credit card offer thread(s) where you can get one for about $60 shipped.

You might want to look at the Ebookwise-1150. It's old but it's cheap.
