Today they both launched 6-inch eBook reader to feature alongside the new Borders online ebook store. It comes with a 512mb of memory which can store up to 1000 books, that can be extended to 8000 with the £30 optional accessory pack that contains a 4 gb SD card plus a protective leather case. 100 classics are already preloaded on for free. At 9mm thick and only 180g (compared to the Sony Reader PRS-505 at 260g) it's ...
Amazon DX Review
The Amazon Kindle DX was launched back in May and started getting into the hands of the ebook reader fans sometime in June and so far we've seen it welcomed wholeheartedly in the states with over 3/4 million sales so far. While tongues were wagging about it being the start of the end of newspapers and textbooks you'll soon see that it's far from that. Over double the screen size of the Kindle 2, it still doesn't come close to the reading surface area of the standard newspaper. It's about the same size of the hardback novels to be honest. ...
Cool-er ebook reader Review
What do we have here? Something that looks like a family of iPods at first glance. Well that seems to be the way the Cool-er ebook reader is being positioned in the market. Funky colours, smooth curves and a 'cool' name. A ebook reader with some street cred perhaps. The Cool-er is a pretty nice device for the money but it does lack some of the 'cooler' functionality of the Sony Readers and Kindles. However, you get what you pay for. So if your just looking for a handy sized portable e-reader, without many of the bells and whistles, this could ...
Sony Reader PRS-700 Review
A year after Sony’s successful launch of the PRS-505 reader, here we have their new touch screen reader in the PRS-700. Whilst a touch screen won’t be to everyone’s likening, and so won’t replace the 505 in all cases, the improved and additional features are very attractive. Obviously the impressive touch screen replaces many of the buttons and keys of the Reader PRS-505 so aesthetically and ergonomically the 700 is a stunning piece of equipment. This Reader now has 5 font sizes (up from 3 with the 505), along with a built in front light so greater accessibility for those with ...

Eink in a Laptop?
While most of us think of eink displays as being suitable for reading or simple uses, display company Pixel Qi had different ideas with a recent demonstration at Computex.
