With the number of e-reader and tablet hybrids being introduced in the market these days, you might get confused as to which one to get. Well, you can always check our previous posts here as we’ve featured quite a few choices this year. However, if what you want is something that is quite distinctive from the rest, then you may have to wait a couple of weeks more because in January, ECTACO jetBook Color will be due for just $500.
Equipped with a 9.7-inch, 1600X1200 Triton Color E Ink display and a Wi-Fi connection, this e-reader is actually a re-brand of China’s Hanvon reader that is available in Eastern Europe. Originally, this product was only focused on the education market since students no longer want bulky notebooks to keep track of their schedules or check homework. But because of its success in Eastern Europe, this will be released soon worldwide so that everyone, students and none-students alike, will be able to take advantage of this product that will eventually replace all paper textbooks.

New and more advanced e-readers are popping out everywhere like some gardener’s nightmare of uncontrolled crabgrass infestation in a humus rich lawn. But for book geeks out there, the more new e-readers, the more choices and the more intense the competition – all for the better of end consumers. One e-reader out there distinguishes itself from the sea of other newcomers, the new Samsung E-reader stands tall with its advanced features and revolutionary innovations. The very first e-reader from Samsung will feature a one of a kind electromagnetic resonance (EMR) pen which basically allows users to write on the reader’s screen like the conventional pen and paper books. Adding annotations and memos in the margins, and modifying e-books, periodicals and even images with direct handwriting are now possible with the EMR pen. Users can also add voice memo and audio annotations via the integrated voice recorder. The handwriting and voice recorder fully supports the included journal, scheduler and memo applications. An electronic dictionary is also readily available anytime even in between reading. The Samsung E-reader supports e-pub, PDF/a, TXT, bmp and jpg formats.
