Foxit’s eSlick isn’t exactly the most exciting ereader of all time, but now things have changed slightly with the addition of EPUB support, making this $259.99 device a more affordable (although less pretty) alternative to the Sony Reader, and a more flexible option than the Kindle. We looked around and have yet to spot the new firmware’s download link, but chances are devices shipped this month will come preloaded with the new code. Still, Barnes & Noble’s identical price tag will easily overshadow this in a few weeks — hello Nook, goodbye eSlick.
