A Real Contender<\/p><\/div>\n

Ok… why aren’t we hearing more about this little gem?
\nThe Foxit eSlick Reader<\/a> is calling itself: “this generation’s way of reading textbooks, favorite novels, magazines and pretty much any…etc.”<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0With an introductory price of $229.99<\/strong> (MSRP) $259.99 <\/strong>they might be right.<\/p>\n

Like I said, why\u00c2\u00a0 haven’t we heard more about this? While it’s still a good hop, skip and stagger away from my $100<\/strong> line in the sand, it is a giant leap ahead of the competing eBook readers that are pushing and passing the $400<\/strong> mark. And it’s doing everything the other guys are doing.<\/p>\n

It is\u00c2\u00a00.4″ thick, 6.4 ounces, and is said to fit the\u00c2\u00a0hand like a palm desktop. With a 128MB internal memory and coming equipped with a 2 GB SD card (supporting up to 4 GB) this thing is ready to rock your eLibrary.<\/p>\n

eSlick uses the electronic paper we’re coming to know and love, and boasts industry leading low-power consumption.<\/p>\n

For the business person, lawyer or writer, eSlick also claims to give the\u00c2\u00a0best PDF reflow capability on the market. Dig this, it doesn’t just read<\/em> these formats: TXT, PPT, DOC, XLS, and HTML, it will convert<\/em> them to PDF files for printing. WOW!<\/p>\n

If that isn’t enough, it arrives equipped with\u00c2\u00a0built-in MP3 player,\u00c2\u00a0free Foxit Reader Pro Pack, Foxit PDF Creator and earphones.<\/p>\n
