As August winds to a close, there are a number of ebook readers and related items on sale, so I decided to put them all together in one long list instead of doing separate posts for each offer.
Note: These prices are current as of this post; obviously they will change as time goes by. Expiration dates are given when available.
eBook Reader Deals
NextBook Next2 is now selling for $99 on Amazon. NextBook’s devices are decent quality for being budget Android tablets…more info.
PocketBook 902 is on sale for $300 at E-Readers Plus (you have to call to get the discount). The MSRP is $379. Here’s more details about the PocketBook 902, it’s one of the better PDF E Ink ereaders, and a here’s my review of the 602, which is pretty much exactly the same as the 902 but is smaller.
Skytex Primer is $67.87 at Amazon, marked down from $129 (it usually goes for about $90). This is a color ebook reader and multimedia player from last year…more details.
Onyx Boox 60 is on clearance for $99 at Dulin’s because a new version with a Pearl display is replacing it. This ebook reader has a Wacom touchscreen…more info.

Kindle Daily Deals
Kindle Daily Deals are back once again. There isn’t a code for these; Amazon updates the daily deal listing every day at midnight Pacific time.
Clicking on the Pocketbook 902 link shows price at $379, but there is a banner above that says: “Call us now at 314-814-3380 for a PocketBook special promo deal!”
It must be a special promo deal.
I sort of want one of these, but I have to wait until October to see if Kindle DX gets update, and/or somebody else comes out with one in time for Christmas. Besides, I may find my new HP Touchpad adequate for PDF reading, especially if I can put Android on it.
So you managed to snag a TouchPad, eh? I was tempted but I already have more devices than I can use. I bet there will be an easy Android fix in no time. And it should make for a pretty good PDF reader too, given the screen size.
Yes I did, although still waiting for it to be delivered. I was going to ask you the other day if you got one, but I figured you hadn’t, for the very reason you gave.
I think it should be fine for reading pdfs, however I doubt the webOS app will have all the functionality of EZ-PDF.
Help..AnyBody;
Anyone out there know about such a thing as an e-book reader handheld/handholder device? I have a 9″longX5″wide reader that gets heavy after a while of reading it in bed!
Thank you,
