Hi all,

A lot of talk about e-readers.

I have said in the past that an e-reader should be use along side REAL paper books, not as a replacement. I also think that spending a lot of $$ on an item that can be dropped overboard is not the best idea.

Well, just a quick heads up, I just got a sale ad from Newegg
(at http://promotions.newegg.com/neemail/mar-0-2011/Clearance29/index-landing.html?nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL032911&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL032911-_-EMC-032911-Index-_-E0-_-PromoWord )

They are selling an ECTACO jetbook ereader for US $70.00. My son has one of these and it works well.

Standard disclaimer, I have no connection with Newegg or Ectaco.
