Hi, I innocently went into Costco yesterday to do some shopping and ran smack dab into temptation. The Libre ereader was there and it was only $170.00 and, as if that wasn’t enough, it came with free ebooks.
Now, I’m fairly committed to waiting for the format issues to settle. And, at home I have p-books in my night stand and on my coffee table, and I have ebooks on my crackberry from mobipocket. I have three books on my Kindle for PC and two books on my Sony reader for PC. If I could find a way to read with my laptop in bed I’d be fine.
The Libre reads PDF, TXT, FB2, EPUB, MOBI, PRC and RTF – although I’m not sure if it will read Kindle mobi (my crackberry can’t).
Cooler heads did prevail in the end. My Libre still sits waiting in Costco – I’m still going to wait a while for formating and DRM issue to work out. The good news is I thought it would be 18 months, with the pricing of the Libre already below $200 maybe I’ll be buying this year.
