eSlick Owners Get eBookstore of Their Very Own For Some Reason [EBookStore]

Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 9th, 2009

Foxit has created the eSlick Store to accompany its adorably inexpensive eSlick reader. But why?

It's great and all that eSlick now supports ePub and eReader in addition to PDF and TXT. But why a separate store that hosts 60,000 available titles when you can browse Barnes & Noble's million-plus eBook inventory instead? Especially when that separate eSlick store is run by a B&N subsidiary? More choice is always great, Foxit. But redundant choice is just clutter. [BusinessWire via Engadget]

Foxit busts out ebook store for eSlick owners

Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News, Technology on December 9th, 2009

It's been a season of e-readers, that's for sure.. and while Foxit is a smaller player in the scene as compared to the Nook or the Kindle, it's got some news of its own to boast about today. That's right, Foxit's launching an online bookstore all its own. The aptly named eSlick Store has been launched in partnership with Fictionwise LLC (a company which is rather interestingly owned by Barnes & Noble), and currently contains about 60,000 books. If you haven't forgotten -- Foxit's also recently released a firmware update which enables its support of EPUB. Full press is after the break.

Foxit’s eSlick ereader now supports EPUB, puts Kindle to shame

Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on November 6th, 2009

Foxit's eSlick isn't exactly the most exciting ereader of all time, but now things have changed slightly with the addition of EPUB support, making this $259.99 device a more affordable (although less pretty) alternative to the Sony Reader, and a more flexible option than the Kindle. We looked around and have yet to spot the new firmware's download link, but chances are devices shipped this month will come preloaded with the new code. Still, Barnes & Noble's identical price tag will easily overshadow this in a few weeks -- hello Nook, goodbye eSlick.
