EBW1150 Holiday Sale

Tag: Devices, Sale, SoftwareEllen Hage @ 3:11 pm

EBW1150In the midst of all the new e-book devices hitting the market, don’t forget the tried and true reader.  Right now Ebookwise has their reader on sale.  You can save $10 on the device and also receive free shipping (Fedex ground).  Faster shipping is available and is also discounted.  I really like their reader, especially since it has backlighting and a dictionary.  I have found their customer service to be excellent and there is a user forum with a great bunch of folks. Another plus is the library software available.  The software costs $14.95 and is really worth the price.   While there are free methods for converting text for the reader, the software makes it so much easier.  Just think, if you already have a few SMC cards from back in the day or don’t need more than 10 books on your reader at any given time, you can buy four EBW1150 for the price of one Kindle.  That’s a family pack!  The only drawback is one that is common to all other devices and that is DRM and the availability of books.  Still, there are a lot of multi-format books available at Fictionwise and free e-books that are already formatted for the device.  And of course you can brew your own.

Here’s the sale and shipping summary from their site:

Reader with 64mb SMC 129.95

Reader with internal memory only 99.95

Reader with 128mb SMC 169.95

    It looks like my 1100. Mine still works after years of abuse. I love the dictionary option.
    All e-Books should have this available.

    Can anyone compare the EBW1150 to the Sony Clie SJ30/S615?

    Clie has color, sometimes useful for reading at night (yellow text on black background); high resolution and many font sizes (large for one-handed while straphanging on the train, very small for late night myopic without glasses); thumbwheel for one-handed reading …

    I’ve never seen the EBW, always been curious how it compares.
