Foxit's eSlick open to preorders again!
Hi,
I just noticed that Foxit has opened the preorder cart for the ESlick reader. The terms seem to be the same: Introductory price: $259.99; Deposit: $50 Shipping late April. Does this mean that the initial set of ESlick's are shipped? If anyone has received their eSlick, please do post reviews. Thanks hari |

A good price but other than that nothing about it makes me want it

This is basically a Cybook without Mobi support and with less memory right? Maybe better PDF support? I guess if I was buying I'd probably spend the extra $40 and get a Cybook from BoB, or does this have something desirable I'm not seeing.

Darn, just in time. This is the e-reader I was most interested in, but I had to make a quick purchase before the funds I was getting from work evaporated, and these were unavailable so I went with the Sony. Since I almost exclusively read .PDFs, I thought this would be perfect (assuming the PDF support is as good as we hope...)

I saw the device today, and the PDF has reflow capabilities.
I don't know the cybook, so I can't compare it with that, but I do know it's light and I did like the touch of the device (not a plasitc casing, but more a rubbery casing) It also uses a faster CPU, a 400MHz (according to the wiki the CyBook uses a 200MHz) Last edited by Sweetpea; 03-06-2009 at 05:09 PM. |

Hi Sweetpea,
Is it possible for you to persuade the owner(yourself or someone else) to post a review? Havent been able to find a handson review yet. Any idea about the ROM/RAM on the device? The Cybook has 16MB of RAM. The current trend has been towards 64+MB(32MB at the min). Foxit has not mentioned this in their website. I doubt if internal memory is same as RAM. |

I've no idea how much it resembles the CyBook, at least, in the hardware department. I didn't ask about that at the Netronix stand. I did find the e-slick more comfortable to hold, as the casing was different from the one I saw at Netronix. (the reason I didn't ask was because I was more interested in the Mentors there). |

I think this is a great device, especially with PDFs. I'll post a new review in another thread.
