Ebookwise 1150 fades away

Nate at the Daily Reader comments on the silence surrounding the oldie but goody, Ebookwise 1150. My ebookwise is still my daily e-reader, but Nate's eb-1150 will probably last longer since he only takes it out of the box every once once in a while to see if its still working.

Nate:

I happen to still have an 1150 in the original retail box. I pulled it out, and would you believe it was made in 2002? The hardware is 8 years old, and still being sold. Impressive.

I'm pretty sure mine was made in 2002 as well; the LCD screen looks a bit "aged" around the edges. I'm figure even with daily use it will still be working long after I get a new reader with all the fancy new features (like ePub support).
