What's up with Books on Board?

Katiesue · 04-22-2009, 08:53 PM

I have a friend who's looking at purchasing a Cybook and I was going to send her an e-mail with a link to the Books on Board page, but things don't look right on the site. There's no specific information on what's included for the purchase price (cover, cords, etc). There aren't any package options. And the pricing when you go to check out doesn't match the pricing on the main info page.

Anyone know what's going on??

From what I can see on their website right now, it only looks like they have Sony readers for sale?

Yeah....if you start with the Bookeen website, go to 'Resellers' on the Bookeen site and select the 'Books on Board' link, you will get to a Cybook page, but it's very stripped down.

I'm guessing that BooksOnBoard may no longer be selling the Gen3. Best email them to find out for sure before trying to place an order.

That's sort of what it looked like to me. I don't think I want to recommend the site to a friend who's new to all this e-reader 'stuff'.

They're a great ebook store, but yeah, their website definitely leaves something to be desired.
