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.

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.
