You can get refurbished Kindles now. In fact, I know of several people who have been able to get refurbished Kindles through talkingbookslibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/12/buy-refurbished-kindle-how-to-get-cheap_12.html Everyone seems to be saying over and over that the Kindle is out of stock, and this is not really true.

Kindle has internet for life for the extra 100 dollars. The Sony Reader PRS-505 is thinner, has more gray scales, better resolution at 170 dpi, and more internal memory for only 10 dollars more at Amazon.com. My point is that your characterization that the Fox-it reader is significantly cheaper and thus a serious competitor is a bit misleading. I believe the fact is they will have a very difficult time, in this category. I respectfully disagree with your characterization of its competition.

One must honestly wonder if Fox-it really can survive in such an environment. Kindle has internet for life for the extra 100 dollars with newspaper subscriptions possible.

I would agree with your sobering assessment that Fox-it lacks the arrangements with publishers that Amazona and Sony have. One must honestly wonder if Fox-it seriously understands the product space its attempting to get into. Kindle has internet for life for the extra 100 dollars with newspaper subscriptions possible.
