I want to see … I want to see examples of how it shows pictures, gray scales, figures, which is quite important if you read scientific documents or news.
No, it needs an … No, it needs an external light, just like a regular book. So chances are, you have those available if you read paper books on a regular basis
Also, a laptop … Also, a laptop screen is impossible to read in full daylight while an Eink screen behaves much more like paper. The screen doesn’t have to compete to emit as much light as the sun. I don’t know why people compare ereaders to reading on their cell phone, tiny screen and they emit light not reflect it.
Nope. But the point … Nope. But the point is it’s like paper so it doesn’t strain the eyes like a laptop screen which is redrawn 60 times a second or so. The e-ink screen reflects light, a laptop screen emits light. Can always use an external light at night, maybe a clip-on like a book?
Anyone who tells … Anyone who tells you how to break the law is a moron. But, for the record, the BeBook will read *non-DRMed* files. So if your crappy warez aren’t DRMed, you’re in luck, aren’t you?
when ordering from … when ordering from official site, mybebook, you can enter this coupon code: markos(dot)place(at)gmail(dot)com to get a 25€ discount!
I was hoping … I was hoping they’ll come up with a decent portable document reader for ages. This seem like an interesting 1st-gen device, but I’d rather wait for more advanced (and cheaper) ones that’ll support color and more formats, like .cbr etc. Too early.
Did you buy the … Did you buy the device by mentioning my email address? And why on earth are you swearing at me when I didn’t mention anything about it being anti piracy? Plus you are totally confused yourself and can’t explain what youre saying. The item isn’t drm protected, the only things that are protected are the EBOOKS! not the BEBOOK!The only drm format that BeBook accepts is Mobipocket, nothing else in DRM, but anything free you can put in there, also you can crack the device and why would you want to!
Bad thing is that … Bad thing is that authors will get the same problem as musicians for copyrights, and they make even less money already than musicians. I mean… I might be very tempted to download all my obligatory books and novels off the internet for free, seeing how expensive it is for me…
well… a solution will have to be found real soon for this copyrights issue, and the i-tune type programs really isn’t one…

SD slot + HDD-like PC connection makes it very interesting bookware.
