I think I threw my back out dancing for joy. This is the first time that I’ve seen this e-reader in stock in the US. Why is that important? Because now I can start bugging the US division to lend me one.
This is your typical 6″ e-reader (no Wifi or touch screen). It comes with 2GB Flash, SDHC card slot and support for Adobe DE DRM.
This e-reader first showed up back before the Nook wifi was announced. At its original retail ($269), it was a little over priced but still in line with Sony and Pocketbook. Now that it’s selling for $179 and you can get the Kindle Wifi for $139, I think you should avoid the VEB-620.

A bit high (!), but who cares…? I bought a Kindle DXG last month and a Kindle 3 three weeks ago
