1Cross Tech’s Book is a Hybrid eBook Reader

Ebook readers have already gone far when it comes to providing a paper-like experience on a handheld device. The Amazon Kindle itself made a name by giving great experience for ebook fanatics. However, a new challenger is ready to take a bite at this very lucrative market – the Book.

The 1Cross Tech ebook reader is a hybrid between an ebook reader and a mobile internet device (MID). It has an e-ink display on the left and a 3.2inch color display with touch screen and a keypad on the right. Individually, we see them in gadgets around such as existent e-readers and touch screen cellphones. But combined, it is something that hasn’t been done before.

One cool feature of having dual display on the Book is the ability to Pack and Go. This feature is called that way because you can surf the internet on the color display on the right and download all the content that you want. You can get pdf files, news articles and clippings, ebooks, etc and you can “drag” them to the left side of the Book and access them when you have time. Powered by Android, this e-reader is very versatile when it comes to customizations due to the potential development of the platform.

As for the body, it ain’t as thin as a Kindle due to the dual display mechanism. It can also look like a netbook from afar or a really big Nintendo DS. Unfortunately, there is no word yet for the price or availability of this e-reader.

ASUS DR-900 E-Reader – Every Little Reader’s Dream

Finally, something that bibliophiles have always been waiting for: an e-reader that gives you more reading time less claptrap, introducing the new and upcoming ASUS DR-900 E-Reader. It’s a no-nonsense and hardcore e-reader with all the practical features and none of those dandy trappings. Starting from the screen, it features a 1024 x 768 resolution, 150ppi, 9-inch monochrome (16 grey shades) electronic paper display from SiPix. This touch-sensitive display supports text input with handwriting recognition. Like what any e-reader should be, the ASUS DR-900 is considerably very thin and light, merely measuring 9mm thick and weighs just 370 grams. The reader’s frame is also narrow in design allowing a more pleasant and larger viewing area.
The ASUS DR-900 E-Reader promises an extraordinary long lasting battery life that can last almost days and day’s end of uninterrupted reading. Relatively about a whooping two weeks’ worth reading time without the Wi-Fi and up to 4 days of battery life with the Wi-Fi enabled. Interestingly enough, the battery can be fully recharged in just around 3.5 hours by plugging it into an empty USB port. If that’s not enough battery life for you, then know that the internal battery is detachable – it’s basically a spare-battery free for all. The DR-900 E-Reader views and supports PDF, TXT, Audible (formats 4, Audible Enhanced (AAX)), MP3, unprotected ePub, HTML, JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP. It keeps all files in its internal 4GB storage expandable via SD Card slot. For getting online, it uses 802.11g and an optional 3.5G HSDPA connectivity.

Skiff E-book Reader – The Armored Librarian

Imagine the rare Gerardus Mercator’s “Atlas”, The 13th Amendment, William Shakespeare’s “First Folio”, or the more intricate and expensive Gospels of Henry the Lion and Leonardo da Vinci’s “Codex Leicester” and other antique collection of precious books right into you fingertips. No self respecting bibliophile can resist all that as well as the new Skiff e-book reader. In a market with already more than enough e-readers to choose from, Skiff will truly stand out with its innovative design and world’s first engineering. This new reader features one of the largest e-paper displays in the market measuring at 11.5 inches diagonally. It also has one of the thinnest and lightest designs at 6.8mm thick and mere 498 grams in weight.
Don’t be fooled by the sleek and slim design though, Skiff can probably outlast the Library of Alexandria and Library of King Ashurbanipal combined. It features unique durable magnesium housing with a shatter-proof and crack-proof rugged metal foil e-paper display. The 1200 x 1600 pixels metallic touch screen is actually made of silicon thin-film-transistors (TFT) on flexible stainless-steel substrate. This makes the Skiff reader the toughest e-book reader yet.
Skiff is powered by a fast Marvel CPU and has a large 4 GB internal memory expandable through SDHC 2.0 standard compliant SD-card slot. Another great feature is the extra long battery life. On the average, its rechargeable high-capacity Lithium Ion battery can last for a week for 2-3 hours of charging time. It also supports 3G, Wi-Fi and USB 2.0 connectivity.
