The specs for this one say it supports ePub and PDF. USB file transfer, or plug in an SD card. That's pretty attractive to me (especially at this price point). No native text, rich text, or graphic support, it seems, but I guess I could mash what I need into ePUB or PDF.
I also wonder whether it will be hackable.
I'd like to try an e-reader, but I'm not particularly interested in playing the price of a netbook. Plus, I've always preferred the Borders stores over B&N (if I'm restricted to a big box book store); the staff are helpful and, at least at a couple of the stores in my area, long term -- I kind of hope the latter means that management treats them ok.
- ableal 17y agoI wouldn't count too much on hackable, though you might look up what's going on at http://openinkpot.org http://openinkpot.org . Those things are usually ARM Linux, I believe. Just the reading material over at http://www.feedbooks.com/books/recent http://www.feedbooks.com/books/recent has tidied me up nicely - worth the price of the reader ;-). Check also over at http://www.mobileread.com/ http://www.mobileread.com/ , they also have opinions and their own books. (I used to go to Borders when they first expanded in the US - nice stores.)
