The BlackBerry PlayBook Thread

+1 for Book Reader for EPUB and Kindle books, it opens CHM files just fine. The native PDF reader is a half-decent reader. If you finally purchase the PB, then side-load Repligo reader, which is the best PDf reader I have come across. The book reading experience is awesome though. IMO, 7inch screen is just the right size for reading.

bought a 16gb pb @ 13500 @ kolkata yesterday
i think 16gb still available on buytheprice.com

 

[adi_vastava]

It seems buytheprice prices are lowest on this. (they are offering a 5% (percentage) discount as well) coupon code ICICI

PB 64 -> for 15600 approx (mine is enroute , shipped from Gurgaon)
PB 16 -> for 12400 approx.

Where to apply Coupon Code ?

 

[adi_vastava]

So you pressed buy now on product page -> you come to cart page ->

at right hand side ->
below your product it says "apply coupon/earn rewards" -> click on it ->
select "coupon" from the drop down if not already there -> type ICICI in text box -> Apply

I already have the screen guard,what i'm looking for is a good carry case instead of the stupid soft pouch

@dinjo and @ayanavish
Thanks for the case links guys...Looks good
Found a leather case as well : http://www.ebay.in/itm/Case-Cover-L...tDomain_203&hash=item4165e7403c#ht_1093wt_905

How's that ??

 

[ayanavish]

^ The leather case looks good but doubt it would give better protection than the Zip sleeve. Zip sleeve has a sleek look, and has decent protection inside. It won't withstand a 2-feet fall but will give good protection against rough handling..
