An E-ink based E-reader like Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc

[bansal98]

I am looking to buy an E-ink based e-reader device like Amazon Kindle, BN Nook or Kobo reader etc. Please let me know if you are willing to sell one. I saw a couple of ads for Sony e-readers but will not prefer Sony if I can get one of the more mainstream ones.

Thanks!!

Item, which is not an ad-supported special-needs edition, is in pristine (9/10) condition and hasn't seen much use since I bought a tablet a couple months later. Let me know if you're interested.

Reason for a prospective sale: too many devices lying around unused. I still prefer my dead-tree books more, as it would seem.

The e-reader + cover combo will cost you 8500/- + shipping (if not in NCR).

Thanks Yamaraj. It's a good deal but I am just concerned that Kindle does not support epub natively. I'll have to convert all my ebooks to either mobi or kindle format. So I'll just wait to see if I can get any other offers.

Regards,

Manish.

As you were not interested in Sony Reader so I didn't respond to your query as I had already listed my PRS-600/BC. But as you are looking for multiple format support, I thought that you should know that Sony PRS-600 supports plenty of format out of the Box.

@bansal: Its a 2 min conversion. If you JB it, you can read .ePub too

The problem with this Sony model is that the screen contrast is not very good as it is not using the latest Pearl E-ink display. And it has very little built-in memory. Plus I hate Sony for not using industry-standard SD/SDHC cards.

JB the Kindle Keyboard edition? I thought that was only for Kindle Fire.

you can jailbreak the kindle keyboard one also and install duokan, which will alllow you to rea epub natively.

Duokan – the alternative Kindle OS – in english – flip's

I don't know about the e-Ink technology but I didn't find it that uncomfortable. May be because I have used only Sony eReaders.

PRS600 has 2 slots one forSD Card and Other for M2. I have been using 2 Gb SD card since I purchased it.
