When it comes to e-readers, the most common name among people is the Kindle 2 from Amazon. Well, Interead decided to change that with their “Cool-er” e-reader. It reminds me of the monochromatic iPod’s but instead of an iPod, it is an e-reader.
It comes in 8 magnificent colors and very lightweight. Here are the specs:
- Dimensions: 7.2 inches by 4.6 inches by .43 inches (HWD)
- Weight: 6.2 ounces
- Screen size: 6 inches
- DPI: 170 pixels per inch
- Levels of greyscale: 8
- Type: E Ink Vizplex
- Touch screen: No
- Manufacturer: PVI
- Operating system: Linux
- Storage: 1GB
- Memory: 128MB (internal)
- Processor: Samsung S3C2440 ARM 400MHz
- Battery: Li-Polymer battery (1000 mAh)
- Battery Life (single charge): 8,000 pages
- Memory Expansion: SD (up to 4GB)
- Wireless: No
- Formats: JPEG, PDF, EPUB, TXT, MP3 (2.5mm headphone jack with a 3.5mm converter included for standard headphones)
- Languages: 8
- Bookstore (titles): more than 750,000
At a price of $250 it is not only more affordable then the Kindle 2 from Amazon but it is also more stylish with its color variations. It is not sure yet if this new e-reader will make a dent in the Kindle 2 market but we will have to wait and see. It is compatible with both Mac’s and Windows and should give Sony’s e-reader a nice competition if not in the United States, then in its home turf Europe.
