I see a large number of sellers on Ebay selling this reader..but I
cannot find any reviews for them

They appear to be a model MWS-EB7A made in China (of course.)

Pretty full featured and half the price of the Kindle 3

But I *cannot find any reviews except those from obvious associates of
the manufacturer.

Anyone have one of these?

Im looking for a decent e-reader, for as little as I can spend.

Anyone have any alternate suggestions, or have a reader that you have
outgrown?

I have some 20-30 gigabytes of *ebooks and *can convert from one format
to another via Calibri (program) but most are in the ready to read
Mobi/Epub/PDF formats.

While viewing movies would be nice..its not a requirement for me.
Virtually all have an mp3 player so thats not an issue.
Having a removable memory slit (memory card) would be a very nice thing,
but not a requirement.

I spend a great deal of time on the road, and while I have various
e-readers on my computers/laptops..having something simple and easy to
take out and turn on, would be a marvelous thing.

Any suggestions/ideas/offers would be appreciated

I own one - paid $78 Australian for it 2 weeks ago.

Its fine for reading simple text or ebooks.

It's frustratingly slow for reading large hi-definition pdfs (ie magazines).
It takes up to 20 seconds to load some large pdf pages, although this is
proably asking a bit much from an ereader.

Movies with any degree of definition play very slowly *and tend to be jumpy.

Photos / images display fine.

For use as a straight forward ereader I think its good value. The one
downside is that when it is being charged you cannot use it.

Thanks! *I was hoping to find an actual user. *It seemed pretty powerful
as an ebook reader and supported a good range of formats

All I am looking for is something to read standard e-books while waiting
for a machine to fail, or while Im sitting in my truck eating dinner,
etc etc.

Its supposed to have an FM radio in it as well? Thats a first for any
ebook reader Ive heard about.

For movies and whatnot..Ive got a decent Sony laptop with a Tether for
the internet, so its not a big issue if it doesnt play well.

Much obliged for the review!

Gunner, that looks just like the one I bought about a month ago. Mine
was black. I bought it to be able to pull up technical PDfs at the
shop.
It sucked. I paid $35 for mine, and felt damned lucky to sell it on Cl
for that.
It was REAL slow, and the screen shape did not fit normal
documents. If you are reading novels it may be OK. for anything
else, save your money. Refurbed Nooks and kindles are $10 more.

I now have a Kindle Touch that a very kindly reader offered to me for
future trades and have been puttering with it since I got home last
night.

Its been rather interesting to convert a few of my many many gigs of
Epub books into other formats that Kindle will read.

Thanks guys!

Gunner
