Slick ER 701 color eReader coming soon

08/09/2011 at 3:09 PM by Brad Linder 18 Comments

Slick ER-701

Budget electronics maker Slick is preparing to launch a new eBook Reader called the ER-701. It showed up at the FCC website this week, and you can find the user manual (PDF link) at the Slick support site.

The company already offers an eReader called the Slick ER-700. It’s a cheap eBook reader with a 7 inch color LCD display. It’s designed to work with Kobo‘s digital bookstore, but while most eReaders with E Ink displays including the Kobo Touch typically sell for over $100, the ER-700 is available for as little as as $80.

There aren’t many details available about how the new model will differ from the ER-700, but the user manual shows that the buttons have all been moved from the bottom of the device to the right side. The ER-701 user manual also shows a video player — but the company’s original eReader also had a video player, it just didn’t include any documentation for that feature.

The device appears to have a 2100mAh, 7.77 Whr battery.

The Slick ER-701 eReader isn’t going to offer the super-long battery life that you get from a model with an E Ink display, and it will be harder to read in direct sunlight. It doesn’t appear to have a touchscreen and the user manual makes no mention of WiFi — although the fact that I found the eReader on the FCC website seems to suggest it could have some sort of wireless capability.

But if the company’s first model is anything to go by, the new Slick eReader will likely have one thing going for it: a low price.

This particular company usually doesn’t state anything except what video and audio formats it can work with but the previous 700 model worked with ePub, could read PDF but had lousy reflow, and some said they got Mobi and txt working on it as well.

So this new model should be similar and you can check the Kobo ebook store to see what formats they sell…

Im confused, will the ER701 have Wi-fi, or not? I’m hoping when I get mine, that I can browse the kobo ebookstore and buy ebooks right on the device. Oh, and I saw this ereader at CES 2011 and i’m wondering what happened to it. It was a white kindle clone ereader from Slick. Here’s what it looks like..

Well, I would like to get the 701 but am tired of waiting and can’t really get any answers from Southern Telecom so am purchasing a Nook Color today.

Thanks, DG. I got your email and bought on at a local Dollar General here in Amarillo. I am currently charging it. The device looks like it is of really high quality. Btw, manufacturer sells it for $88 and Sears will sell for $68 so, you have a very good price. I have owned various ebook readers for years – it will be interesting to see how this fares against the others – again, Thanks!

I’ve got the Slick ER 701 up and running and must say, so far, love it. Great display and comfortable to handle. KOBO is easy to manage, also.

Unless I run into problems, I highly recommend this reader. I have owned Cybooks and ebookwise 1150s in the past. The cost of the Slick, at $60, is 1/6 of what I paid for my Cybook several years ago.
