EBooks and EReaders

Hey everyone this is my review/first impressions of the Barnes & Noble Nook e-reader. I really like this device if you just need a device to read books, the only thing I don’t like about it is, It’s a bit laggy on the capacitive touch screen, but not to bad. I definitely would prefer this over other e-readers.

It is a very good competitor to the Amazon Kindle, I think maybe even over taking it by a little bit because of it’s lcd screen. (in my opinion)

It has a large amount of cases and pouches for it already so you will never have to go unprotected.

The Kindle DX Graphite has free 3G that you can use to download books and surf web sites, built-in storage for up to 3,500 books and text-to-speech. The Kindle works with Amazon ebooks and PDF files but it does not work with ePub ebooks.

Our own Iyaz Akhtar visited the luminescent Samsung booth to check out its new e-readers. If size matters to you, Samsung probably has something to fit the bill as it announced 4-inch, 6-inch, and 10-inch models with varying features. For example, the largest version, the E10, has the ability to annotate on-screen while the mid-sized model connects to your email. Watch the video to see the devices in their full glowing glory.

Skip to 4:00 for info on the i.MX51e Android e-ink UI development kit and for some infos on the i.MX508 platform.

Freescale is the leader in powering the e-ink based e-readers. In 2008 that market was below 1 Million units, in 2009 it was 4-5 million units and in 2010 it is expected to sell perhaps as much as 15 million units.

Freescale’s next generation of processors for e-readers integrates the e-ink controller directly into the ARM Cortex A8 based processor, which increases performance, lowers power consumption and lowers cost even further.

It is expected that this lowering of cost and complexity in the e-ink e-readers may help reach $99 e-ink e-readers sooner, which may also mean content providers like Amazon, Google or Newspapers may soon decide to give away the connected e-ink readers in exchange for a content subscription plan.

I am a big fan of the e-reader market, it helps people read again, as TV and the Internet has taken over more and more of people’s time, the e-readers makes it possible to read any book, any article and any time with a quality up close near to paper quality.

I filmed an early Android e-ink prototype at CeBIT that was showcased by Gigabyte: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv71yXCLj74 now Freescale is pushing further the use of Android as the software stack for e-ink e-readers with the i.MX51e development board demonstrated in this video. This could mean awesome use of feed readers, where articles, blog posts could also be beamed from the Chrome browser extension directly to your Android based e-reader. The feature of adding text contents from your laptop to your e-reader could become really really powerful.

http://www.tweaktown.com Today we attended a ViewSonic press conference in Taipei where the company used the event to launch a range of new eBook e-readers appropriately held at the eslite bookstore.

Next up Mike Chen, a ViewSonic product manager for its digital media business unit, introduces the special editor VEB632 JinYong Reader e-reader that is at the top-end of ViewSonic’s new eBook range. It will go on sale in Taiwan in July with a rather rich street price of 14,800 NTD or around 462 USD at today’s rate.

Yin Yong is a very famous Chinese martial arts novelist who has written some 36 books on the ancient Eastern fighting art that are enjoyed by Chinese all around the world. The VEB632 e-reader comes bundled with all of Jin Yong’s books included on the 2GB of internal storage. The e-reader sports a six-inch e-ink display that supports an 800 x 600 resolution with up to 16 levels of grey. This model is slightly bigger and heavier than the previous VEB620 model we looked at, but it comes in at a still quite nimble and comfortable 250 grams or around 9 ounces. Distributed by Tubemogul.
