Elonex 700eb ?

mpd123 · 12-20-2010, 01:22 PM

i have ordered one of these from asda for £80 i have read a few reviews and for the money it seems ok,
especially when you take in to account the video playback facility.
any way has anybody seen one in the flesh or own one.
if so what did you think.

cheers,mick.

I have a review unit. It's a pretty decent e-reader, but it lacks most of the bells and whistles.

It's great at video, though.

thanks for the reply i have a 650 as my primary reader and really just wanted this because of the price.
will you be posting a full review of the 700?

cheers, mick.

I'll be posting a review, yes.

That's happening because of the power saving settings. You'll need to go to the settings menu and increase the time before the screen shuts off.
