Dulin unleash Boox 60 ebook reader

Just in time for the New Year, Dulin have launched the Boox 60 ebook reader for $350 on their website.

The Boox 60 seems kind of pricey especially when compared to the Kindle, but of course the stylus is not a Kindle feature and the Boox will handle Adobe DRM/Adobe Digital Editions. So may be that will persuade you to part with the extra $100. Otherwise probably best to stick with the Kindle.
