Foxit’s eSleek Reader may play freeware files

Foxit’s upcoming eSleek Reader may not be pretty, but its $220 price tag and rumors that it may be the first eInk device to play eReader files may make it worth a look. A representative from the company indicated that the device would offer support for eReader software when its released, that would allow people who already own eReader books they play on their cell phones to instead read them on the larger display of the reader. Since Amazon and Sony’s readers require you to play only books purchased from their stores, that would make the eSleek Reader the first true reader to let you read you books on a variety of devices.
