Oh, how I missed Bebook
Some time ago I got Bebook One and enjoyed it quite a lot. I sold it because I had a pause in reading and thought I would not nee it any more.

Today I went to our local library and borrowed Bebook Mini, oh the love at first sight. I just love this thing, all the Sony's and Cybooks look like toys from Star Trek, there is just some kind of appeal in Bebook One and Bebook Mini that I missed. I am planning on getting my own Bebook Mini some time soon.

I have been contemplating the purchase of a Bebook Club. Just thought I would mention it. (Seems kinda pointless, now that I have said it...)

Anthem, it is not. I did not know there is a Bebook Club and will now go to find out about it.

Yes, I know about Bebook Neo and Bebook Club, but for some reason I like the Bebook One/Mini design and functionality when it comes to buttons etc...

Personally I love my Mini, the size is perfect for packing around everywhere to maximize reading time during the day.

What are you talking about exactly when you say you love your "Mini"?

The best e-ink reader ever made. I have 2. A primary and a backup. So does my brother.

Why is it the best one ever made.

1. - removable SD chip. If it ever dies, my library is just a pop out away. (or if the chip goes bad (I backup every couple months) I relead a new chip and pop in.

2. - Standard replaceable battery. I'm on my second battery on one of the readers.

3. - Firmware choices. I'm running Openinkpot, but the factory firmware isn't bad.

So it looks industrial. Put it in a nice cover, (to protect the screen), and nobody will notice, not even you...

Only complaint, doesn't handle SDHC chips. (can't have everything.)

I don't know how long they will last but hopefully quite a few batteries' worth.

The mini does handle SDHC cards with the Jinke firmware.

the pity about the mini is it doesn't have standard battery - indeed can't have everything
