New Digital Books Offer Better Readability
The Washington Post writes here: Sony and iRex Technologies are among the first to manufacture and sell eBook readers. The $350 Sony Reader, which is expected to hit online and retail stores in the coming months, will accommodate USB, Memory Stick and SD memory card slots and will offer both wired and wireless Internet connectivity. IRex Technologies’ iLiad Reader, which is scheduled for release later this month, is expected to include similar features. Final pricing has yet been announced. Both devices are expected to support multiple file formats, allowing Web sites, pictures and Adobe PDF files to be viewed and MP3 files to be played.
