iriver WiFi Story turns to the ‘overpriced wireless connectivity’ chapter

Admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 02:41:00 +0000

Outside of a perhaps too strong resemblance to the Kindle, there was nothing much to fault the iriver Story when we played with it back in January.

Admin — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 07:27:00 +0000

Well what do you know, turns out the LB4400 was a harbinger of things to come. LG Display and iriver just announced a $5M joint venture to manufacture e-book readers. The new China-based company, L&I Electronic Technology (Dongguan) Ltd, sees iriver doing the platform development and product design (thank gawd) while LG provides the EPD displays

Admin — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 05:39:00 +0000

Acer didn’t make any sweeping announcements at Computex like it has in previous years , but it did show up with its new LumiRead L600 e-reader . While it was under glass for the entirety of the trade show, we were able to snag a peek at the ultrathin reader, which looks strikingly similar to the Kindle with its 6-inch, 800 x 600-resolution E Ink display, joystick and 37 key QWERTY keyboard.

Color might still be out of the question — both now and far into the future — but Amazon seems fit to take out some of the Kindle ‘s fat.

Pandigital Novel e-reader / handheld hits the FCC

BlaineSnook64 — Fri, 28 May 2010 18:01:00 +0000

Pandigital’s already manage to at least pique our interest with its Android-based Novel e-reader / handheld, and it looks like the device has now reached one more milestone on the road to availability — it’s just turned up at the FCC. As you can see, the particular device undergoing testing is black (not white as the final version will apparently be), and the FCC unfortunately doesn’t give us much of a look of that bright 7-inch LCD in the on position

Kakai developing a Linux-based e-book reader? Wouldn’t you like to know!

Angel — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:57:00 +0000

It seems that Osman Rashid, the guy behind Chegg (an online textbook rental service, sort of like a boring Netflix) has decided that he’s going to follow the likes of Kindle and iPad into the untested (well, somewhat tested — and somewhat reviled ) e-textbook space. Details are scant — and it’s this fact, really, that’s captured the imagination of tech wonks on a slow news day like today

LiSeng Vbook cuts the Entourage Edge down to size

Admin — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 18:16:00 +0000

The Entourage Edge may be many things, but pocketable it is not. LiSeng looks set to address that shortcoming with its own Vbook, however, which packs a pair of 5-inch screens into a foldable form factor that should at least fit in a large coat pocket.

Spring Design Alex starts shipping tomorrow

Admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 21:01:00 +0000

We’d gripe about the wait, but given all the e-book readers we saw at CES that’ve fallen off the radar or been delayed to oblivion, we’re actually pretty proud of Spring Design for shipping the Alex at last. Orders will start going out tomorrow for the $399 dual screen reader. Not sure it’s worth the price?

Kobo’s $149 eReader gets reviewed

Admin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 06:14:00 +0000

So, how much e-book reader can $149 get you? Well, Kobo’s eReader might not be heavy on the feature set, but based on the general impressions from Electronista’s review, we’d say quite a bit. In exchange for dropping the 3G, WiFi, color screen and audio playback frills of the Kindle and Nook, Kobo’s barebones device puts a pretty and intuitive face on simple book reading for a pretty lovable price
