# E-book Readers at a Glance

[![](http://www.bookeen.com/Pics/productImages/Normal/Cybook-in-hand.jpg)](http://www.bookeen.com/gallery/ebook-pictures.aspx)Wired magazine did an interesting round-up of e-book readers (old crappy ones not included).

(http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/11/e-book-readers.html)

**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 (http://www.bookeen.com/gallery/ebook-videos.aspx) by Bruce Batchelor (thanks Bruce), is noted as the lightest and thinnest. (http://www.bookeen.com/gallery/ebook-videos.aspx). 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.
