Question How to tell the good or bad quality of E-book?
There are so many E-books on the market,but if i can not afford a SONY E-book and have only to buy a common one,how should i choose?
I found a E-book on a site,and i like it very much,but should i buy it?Is it deserved to buy?In a word,can you show me if the parameter is OK?

I'm not sure this is news. Maybe you should ask in the General Discussion forum?

Are you an employee of the company? It's interesting how your user name and the website have the same name.

I think you have a point there. It is definitely looking a bit spammish.

Now, if he was selling that lamp (if it is a lamp) in his icon, I'd buy that.

Well, on the above site they sell this unknown device for $230.00
How come you could afford this, and not be able to afford Sony Pocket Edition for less than $199, or Astak EZ Reader, or PocketBook?
Or, if you want to go for a rock-bottom-price why not Jetbook with non-backlit display very similar to e-ink that can be had for around $160 if you look for a bargain?
You could also buy second-hand unit from ebay, or perhaps a refurbished reader.

$230 with only 128MB Flash memory, add in a 2gb SD and you are close to the price of Kindle, nook or Sony or any number of readers backed by known companies.

The Sony PRS-300 is $149 at Walmart and $138 at Amazon. But with eleczilla, you get all that, plus it will destroy Tokyo!
