We heard about the Libre eReader from Aluratek back in late 2009. The device was one of the lower priced eReaders out there at $179 when we first caught wind of the device. Borders has announced that it will now be selling the Libre.

Pre-orders are being taken now for a black version of the Libre at $119.99, making it $60 less than the original price. Other than lower rice and the black hue, the Libre is the same. It uses a 5-inch monochrome reflective light LCD.

The device measures 6″ x 4″ x 0.35″ and weighs 7.6 ounces. Internal memory is 256MB and the device supports microSD cards up to 32GB. Other features include an integrated battery good for 24 hours per charge. The Libre will ship on July 2.
