The Foxit eSlick is a completely functional entry level electronic book reader, and we think Foxit is doing an enormous favor for the PDF arena by introducing the 1st really reasonable eBook reader. The Foxit eSlick, does however, have a pair prominent inadequacies users should be conscious of before they invest in one.

Namely, it does not have wi-fi, so you will be depending on a USB connection or SD card rather than wi-fi for getting new content. For the average user, this should not be a deal breaker as it’s not difficult to interface with a Computer and manually upload files. In contrast to the Amazon Kindle, the Foxit eSlick doesn’t have its own marketplace for books and publications.

While this is not a massive complaint, some users favor the simplicity of the Amazon’s Kindle store. Downloading books for the Foxit eSlick is an easy affair through any of the alternative eBook stores out there, just be certain to confirm file type compatibility or convert your eBooks to PDF.

Like most electronic book readers, the Foxit eSlick’s battery will run for days on end so long as you are not using it as an MP3 player. The Foxit eSlick has a battery life of roughly eight thousand page turns and takes three hours to recharge. The Foxit eSlick is the dimensions of a thin mass market paperback, has a big battery life, and is compatible with a healthy variety of file types.

Its reasonable price ticket makes us ok with the idea of reverting back to a wired electronic book reader. In fact, who truly requires a 600-page novel at a moments notice.
