eBook Readers question by Rainy: Why are ebook readers so expensive?
I know it’s a fairly new technology. I’ve been wanting to get one for ages especially since I’m going to be travelling a lot in the upcoming year or even years.
I’m crazy about reading books especially ebooks since it’s easier to throw them out when I don’t like the story line.
Are there any cheap alternatives for the sony reader or the amazon kindle? I must admit that spending 400 dollars is a bit to much for me.
eBook Readers best answer:
Answer by Elfwreck
The Sony Reader can be as little as $ 200 (which is still a whole lot of money) because of various Christmas sales.
There aren’t any eInk readers cheaper than about $ 250 retail, although you can sometimes find them cheaper on eBay. The Ebookwise 1150, however, is currently selling for $ 99. It only reads one format, but it’s easy to convert most other ebooks to that format, and MobileRead.com has a forums devoted to free ebook downloads.
You can also read ebooks on most PDAs and some cellphones, but not everyone likes reading on a 2″ screen. If you do (I loved it until my Cliés died), you can get software like eReader or mobipocket to read on a Palm system, or Microsoft’s reader for a Pocket Windows system.
TOTALLY USELESS,
THIS IS A TOTALLY AWFUL, COMPLETELY USELESS ITEM. THE ANTI-SCRATCH SCREEN DOESN’T SIT SMOOTHLY ON THE SCREEN AND HAS COMPLETELY ANNOYING BUBBLES THAT CAN’T BE REMOVED. THE SILICON SKIN IS POORLY MADE, ILL-FITTING AND INTERFERES WITH THE ABILITY OF THE KINDLE DX TO FIT INTO THE AMAZON KINDLE COVER THAT SO MANY PEOPLE USE WITH THIS PRODUCT. IT ALSO FELT BAD IN MY HAND — SORT OF A COMBINATION OF MOIST AND STICKY. I THREW BOTH OF THESE ITEMS OUT WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF OPENING THE PACKAGE. AS I SAID, JUST WORTHLESS!

|Hairy and shiney,
The silicone cover is worse than a black shirt. It picks up everything. It actually gets a “fuzzy” feeling. The screen protector for the kindle made a glare so bad I couldn’t even see the screen. I don’t recommend these two things.

|Nice try but, no cigar,
Got this item as a gift for my husband DX and while he enjoyed changing the color of his DX the product had more CONS than PROS. I did spend a better part of 20mins trying to iron bubbles out of his screen protector so, it would not annoy him. Now that it’s on he does not mind it. The Silicone cover was good at first but, now it’s losing its shape and sags on the Kindle. He has taken the silicone cover off but, still uses the Anti Scratch screen.
