Wired magazine did an interesting round-up of e-book readers (old crappy ones not included).
The list includes:
Amazon Kindle
HanLin eReader V3
Sony Reader PRS-505
iRex Iliad
Bookeen Cybook Gen3
Seiko-Epson
Fujitsu
NUUT NP-601
Sony Reader apparently looks the nicest. iRex is powerful and practically an e-ink Tablet PC ($700). Bookeen, which I’d never heard of but was recently introduced to by Bruce Batchelor (thanks Bruce), is noted as the lightest and thinnest. Watch the Bookeen video to see how lithe it is. And the Seiko-Epson, Fujitsu and NUUT are not currently available in North America.
I predict that 2008 or early 2009, I’ll be using some device that lets me read ebooks and more. Maybe iPhone will come to Canada. Maybe there will be a fab new device developed that does everything I want. Maybe I’m crazy.
