miBook E-Reader/Cooking/Photo Frame/Multimedia PDA

It is priced at around $130, has no built-in memory, comes with a 7-inch LCD color screen (with LED backlight), and is currently marketed as a cooking aid device. I find Photoco's miBook difficult to describe; yet, according to Crunchgear's John Biggs, it could be a real contender in the e-book market.

Quote:
Partnerships with home and garden television channels, including the Food Network, HGTV and ParentsTV, give owners of the miBook multimedia content from cookbooks, parenting guides and travel books. ... Now that the Kindle is giving Gutenberg’s crazy invention a run for its money, maybe devices like the miBook will give Amazon’s Jeffrey P. Bezos a run for his.
Gizmodo has some more specs and also the press-release.
