The BeBook: Enter Another Ebook Reader

Sunday June 1, 2008
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]
