This post is just a quickie. AOFM may post a better one later today - or maybe not. It's a holiday weekend at Casa de Graham too.
It's finally happened. E-readers are starting to be priced within even the greatly reduced budgets most of us have today! Buy.com is selling the Aluratek Libra eBook Reader Pro for only $49.99 after a $20.00 rebate.
I don't own this one but it looks like a great deal. The E-Reader handles Epub - which is the industry standard in most places. You can buy Epub books at B&N, Sony, KOBO, Smashwords, eHarlequin, Google, All Romance Ebooks and just about everywhere else. But the unique aspect of this device is that it will handle non-drm mobi files. Mobi is the Kindle language peeps. That means that you can also buy from Amazon - but only the ebooks without drm. A bunch of 'em at Amazon have drm, but not all - so this reader gives access to some of the vast Kindle ebooks.
It comes pre-loaded with 100 free ebooks and has the epaper technology and supports BMP, JPG, and GIF.
Check it out. If your budget hasn't allowed an E-Reader purchase before, this one might be one of the best bargains around for what you get - universal Epub access and even some limited Kindle availability. That's big peeps.
Sounds like a lot of value for a mighty affordable price. This deal may not last so if you're interested, you better put your boogle in high gear and race over to the link to pick one up!!
