There’s a new ebook reader available on Amazon through a third-party seller called Airon, a Ukrainian company.
The new ereader is the Airbook City LED. It’s another budget model that only costs $90 with free shipping.
It has a 6-inch E Ink screen with a frontlight, audio support, and memory card slot.
It’s very similar to the Airbook City Base that turned up on Amazon earlier this year, which currently sells for $69.
The main difference with the new model is it adds a frontlight. Otherwise they appear to be pretty much identical aside from the color.
Neither models have a touchscreen; instead they have physical buttons for navigating and turning pages.

So does that mean it will use Kindle books without any hassle? No hassle for me means just like on my Paperwhite, direct download, not sideloading.
Why would it work with Kindle books? Just because it’s sold on Amazon doesn’t mean it has anything to do with Kindles. Virtually all ebook reader brands are sold on Amazon.
You mean, because it reads MOBI? Nope. you’d have to remove the drm first, then sideload it.
