Foxit will be showing off their new eSlick at the CeBIT Global Conference and Expo in Germany at the beginning of March. They’ve already sold out of their first batch of them, and expect the next shipment around April. At $259, the price is very competitive.
They are also using their experience working with PDF software to add value – they include software to convert “any printable document” to PDF for display on the device. That means it’s probably safe to buy one for your mom and not worry that she’ll have to learn the difference between mobi and epub and all the other competing formats out there.
If you’re going to be attending the conference, I’d love to hear about their exhibit. My travel budget is currently insuffiecient for a trip to Europe.Â
