Astak is launching a $150 ebook reader that supports TXT, PDF, and HTML files. It should be available next month and will feature an 800×600 pixel screen with SD memory expansion and options like Wi-Fi and touchscreen input in more expensive models.

This basically looks like a rebadged OEM product, so I’m not going to recommend it over a Kindle — heck, the company specializes in web cams right now anyway. However, if might be a good investment once the reviews come in.
