The BeBook: Enter Another Ebook Reader

From Nino Marchetti, About.com GuideJune 1, 2008

Follow me on:

Ebook readers are a unique class of portable electronics in that they are primarily focused on letting you take a whole lot of books with you on the road electronically. The latest ebook reader to market is called the BeBook and it prices around $400.

The BeBook is produced by a company named Endless Ideas. The device sports a six-inch screen and makes use of special E-ink technology so you can read on-screen contents in bright daylight. The BeBook has an internal rechargeable battery which lets you get an estimated 7,000 page turns of an on-screen book, which is plenty for most travels.

Other features of the BeBook include internal memory for book storage which can be increased via SD memory cards, support for a variety of related digital document formats such as .doc and .pdf, and USB connectivity. It should be available for purchase now. [via]

Great device! I carry it loaded with hundreds of books, plus work documents, manuals, etc. It’s easy to use and easy on the eyes to read. The above reviews provide good info on using the device. The BeBook home page also has good info: mybebook.com

If you order through their website you can get a €25 discount by entering a valid coupon code during checkout – here’s one:

mybebook@hotmail.com

Google around and you’ll find plenty more! Check out the reviews online, check out the BeBook website, then get this great reader that handle heaps of formats and never look back. Welcome to the eInk generation – enjoy!

I recently bought a BeBook and I think it’s well worth the money. I would definitely recommend it as the best ebook reader on the market currently. The huge range or formats it supports alone puts it way out in front of the rest.

If you are thinking of purchasing a BeBook from the mybebook.com website then feel free to use my email address in the discount coupon section to receive a 25 Euro discount. This helps me too so it’s a win-win situation.

My email is ruthgar@hotmail.com

Cheers,
Adam

A fresh code to use for discount at official site: markos.place@gmail.com
Use it to get 25€ discount. Sadly not available to USD customers anymore, because of drop in value :(
