Dulin's Books has finally released the Boox e-Reader, a device that
was first seen in a trade show at the beginning of the year. It's has
a 6" e-ink screen, WiFi and a WebKit-based browser, and supports
nearly every ebook format known to man. They're selling it at $349.
More details here:

Do any of you like the look of this thing?

cheers

I actually like the look of the device, and the fact that it's a Wacom
graphics tablet is attractive to me (I can make annotation on journal
articles.)

Thanks for the heads up

It does look nice, and it gets around the lock-in problem of other hardware readers. But it is pretty expensive at $350, $100 above the Kindle or Nook and $200 above the reader eReader is selling.

I would love to try one out, which is not likely to happen. If anyone posts a review I would be interested in reading it.
