STAReBOOK STK-101

A small and trim e-reader with an intuitive interface and really well made MP3 support that lets you easily listen to music while reading. It only supports one file format (it’s own .stk format), and while it does come with a converter, it works less than exceptionally and sometimes turns Word Documents and PDF’s into random bits...

Plastic Logic E-Reader Preview

By all accounts, 2008 was a particularly bad year for newspapers. Ad revenues are down, subscription rates are dwindling and classified ad sales are virtually non-existent. Online competition has decimated the black and white lady, although most news junkies attest that the web doesn’t offer the same reading experience as print....

Brother SV-100B

Brother is calling this e-reader a “Document Viewer,” since it features an A4 screen. It is larger and has twice the pixels of the Kindle 2. However, it’s not meant to be a Kindle-killer, instead it is aimed at business users who will pair this over Bluetooth with PCs or mobile devices. The Brother SV-100B is available...

Bebook Ereader

The Bebook Ereader reads a wide range of formats, is quick to charge, and works for 7,500 page turns between charges. Some users have complained that the design is old-fashioned, lacks elegance, and that many book formats didn’t format correctly (or work at all).

Concept Design: Newsboy Color E-reader

Three videos have been released that demonstrate what the e-reader of the future might look like. Its e-paper touch screen displays in full color and it is flexible. While...

The operating system is built on Linux, with the source code and developer’s tools available online, allowing anyone to make programs for the system. It supports many formats out of the box, has a touch screen interface and comes with a stylus.

HP Debuts New Paper Thin Plastic Display

HP has just turned the whole e-paper community upside down by showing off their new prototype for a thin, flexible plastic display. This new display can handle some pretty powerful stress tests, and even boasts a nice resolution. The current prototype is only in black and white, but they expect a high color version ready to roll before...

Foxit eSlick Reader

FoxIt’s ESlick Reader is turning heads with their low cost solution to ebooks. The ESlick is debuting at around $299. This low price comes at a cost, however, since the ESlick Reader can only read one e-book format: pdf files. It does come with a free version of FoxIt’s PDF converter, so you can move any document into that format...
