Viewsonic VEB612 eBook Reader is No Nook

So now ViewSonic has come out with a new e-reader, the VEB612 eBook. There is no color here or anything very snazzy – just your typical eReader. You can download and transfer your favorite digital books from a wide variety of sources, not just one. The eBook supports the following formats (ePub, PRC, PDF, HTML, TXT), as well as MP3 audio files. It comes with 512MB of internal memory and supports up to 4GB SD cards and also has a headphone jack to listen to music by yourself. Super long battery life will keep you reading over 8,000 pages between charges. The leatherette cover completes the package and helps prevent the screen from damage. Its decent design is certainly comparable with the Kindle but it’s lack of color makes it kind of boring. The Viewsonic VEB612 eBook Reader retails for $259.00 at B&H Photo.
