Hasta La Gadget!

It looks like the Kobo eReader won’t be the only e-book device from Borders; the company has announced that the Libre eBook Reader Pro is now available for pre-order as well.

The $119.99 Libre rings in at $30 less than the Kobo eReader (review coming soon). The Libre can play music and display photos. It also features 100 preloaded classic books, auto-off, and 24 hours of continuous battery life on a single charge.

The Libre’s 5-inch, black and white screen also features Reflect Light LCD technology, which promises faster page turns and–here’s a big one–no unsightly flashes when turning pages. It will be interesting to see if this is just as readable as E Ink displays when in hits the market.

The Libre will work as part of the Kobo eco-system, so you can pick up where you left off when reading on an iPhone, on a PC, or on another e-book reader.
