Fictionwise is running a week-long 45%-off-or-rebate sale. I figured it was important enough that I went ahead and added it as an update to the article, too.

The Libre is the same model eReader as the JetBook Lite. While the Aluratek version just came out, any JetBook Lite reviews would be able to tell you if it’s a quality eReader.

Still, it’s a pretty good deal. The JetBook Lite runs for $149 and this is being sold for $12 cheaper, plus the Libre comes with 100 free eBooks on SD card.

I contacted support last week at Aluratek and they kindly informed me that the Libre works with Adobe Digital Editions for DRM’d ePub and PDF ebooks.

Like the Jetbook, I think it is based on the Chinese ebook reader that goes by the intriguing name of Dr. Yi.
