09/13/2011, Remember the Plastic Logic 100 that we mentioned earlier this morning, where said e-book reader was announced in Russia? Well, there is a full hands-on video of it floating around on YouTube, taking a good 12 minutes of your time. Everything’s in Russian, so if you do not know the language, just enjoy the dozen minutes worth of video. It has been compared to a smaller Sony e-book reader in […]

09/11/2011, Amazon certainly has a new tablet up their sleeves, but it is still surrounded by a shroud of secrecy. Well, the company is said to be working on a digital book library that will be not too different from that of what Netflix is offering with their e-book subscription service. I guess this bit of news would definitely make Amazon Prime subscribers happy, since that means they have an easier […]

07/19/2011, If you happen to own a Kobo e-book reader, chances are you might have fret a whole lot upon hearing that Borders have filed for Chapter 11 some time back, and will be closing its doors sometime down the road. After all, Kobo’s e-book reader will receive downloads of e-books from Borders itself, so with the impending doom of Borders, does this mean the Kobo device in your hands would […]

07/19/2011, The e-book world is littered with plenty of options in this day and age, which is a far cry from what consumers had to put up with a few years ago. Heck, even e-book readers now support color for a more interactive experience, and hardware manufacturers are more adventurous now to venture into this particular niche market. Well, Pandigital’s STAR e-book reader has just gone through the paces at the […]

07/08/2011, Thanks to Panasonic, consumers in Japan will be getting an e-book reader/tablet hybrid that has been specially designed for the Japanese market in mind. The e-book/tablet hybrid will be getting its source of e-books from Rakuten, which is a leading online shopping mall operator in Japan, who in turn will be distributing e-books from booklista Co., which is a joint venture established by Sony and Toppan Printing Co.

03/24/2011, The Home Shopping Network website did suggest that the NOOKcolor e-book reader is going to receive a major software update this coming April, and while the product description lacks an explanation on what will be included within the update, we do know that it was mentioned that Adobe Flash will be supported – so with the powers of inference that are in our hands, this might mean an operating system […]

03/21/2011, The FCC must be a pretty fun place to work in as you get all of the unreleased devices to tear apart and peer into their innards, long before the rest of the masses see them on store shelves. The latest device to go through their hands would be a 6” e-book reader that boasts of 3G CDMA/EVDO wireless data capabilities form PocketBook, where it will feature a Wacom touchscreen […]

08/26/2010, It is rather strange that Sharp’s President Mikio Katayama has touted their upcoming e-reader to be a rival for the Apple iPad – considering the iPad isn’t even a dedicated e-reader in the first place, but rather more of a tablet. This is one interesting boast that we hope will not end up as just hot air since the consumers will win in the end. According to Sharp, this new […]

08/25/2010, Those who have had their fair share of Web-based games in the past might have fond memories of Literati over at Yahoo! Games, but Sharper Image takes a different route with their eReader, also known as Literati. This MerchSource-made device will follow the Kindle’s footsteps in some ways where its design is concerned, bringing a 7-inch LCD display at 800 x 480 resolution that is decent for e-book reading, but […]

08/06/2010, Asus has plans to introduce a new 8″ e-book reader that will feature a 64-grayscale TFT LCD display when October rolls around, although you won’t find any backlight accompanying this model. Despite that, it will be slapped with a $599 price point, which could be pretty pricey – but let us hope that the rest of the specifications will be able to justify its price tag. The LCD panel of […]

07/15/2010, Looking for a new e-reader, but am not quite sure which model you would be looking for? The Elonex 710RB e-reader might just fit the bill then, although if you want one you will need to wait until this August after having its launch date announced. Boasting a 7″ LCD display at 800 x 480 resolution, it will cost $184 despite being originally announced at $152 thereabouts earlier this year. […]

03/01/2010, Teclast is back with not another portable media player, but a new ebook reader known as the K6 in China. Meant to be a larger sibling to the Teclast K3 ebook reader that is going for $220, this model comes with a 6″ e-ink display and superior specifications such as a numeric keypad and two buttons on both sides for easier page turning motion. We await for further details on […]

02/25/2010, Guess Nintendo knows that ebooks could very well be the next big thing, so why not push forward the advantage of its DSi XL’s larger display (4.2″) by offering a downloadable package of ebooks known as 100 classic books, where it will hit Wii channels this coming June 14th onwards for $20. Guess classics will never grow old, and we hope to relive the adventures of The Three Musketeers and […]

02/23/2010, Acer, the Taiwanese computing giant, has issued a statement that they will not jump aboard the e-book bandwagon since the market is not big enough while the business model isn’t right. Could this be a case of sour grapes, otherwise Amazon wouldn’t be the runaway winner at point of publishing and still turn a profit with their Amazon Kindle? Too bad for Acer then, since it would be a classic […]
