Foxit eSlick Reader

One of my most wanted gadget is a portable or hand-held e-book reader like Amazon’s Kindle. Unfortunately, its $359.99’s price tag isn’t cheap and I surely think twice before I spend my four hundred bucks for a gadget like that. The good news is, Foxit, the company behind the famous Foxit Reader software, has started accepting pre-order for their newest product called eSlick Reader. Priced at just $259.99, this cheap handy device offers a maximum resolution of 800×600 with a 4 shades of grey, a built-in 128MB of storage with SD media card slot (up to 4GB supported) for additional space, USB connection, and Linux-based OS. It also comes with a built-in MP3 player, a document editing tool that can zoom your PDF document up to 400%, and of course, its own Foxit Reader software. Moreover, eSlick Reader is thick (1cm) and lightweight (180gr) as well.
