The Digital Reader has the news that the first Mirasol-based ebook reader has just been launched in South Korea.
The display is a 5.7" diagonal, 1024x768 pixel (223ppi) full colour display. More info about the ebook reader and the display are at the
mirasol website.
Touchscreen, colour, scrolling, video, weeks of battery life, and a built-in 'front light', so it can be used in low-light levels.
$310. Kyobo Platinum club members can purchase for $265.
I wonder who'll be the first to use the display in a ebook reader available in the rest of the world?
Unlike
The Digital Reader, I think people will pay more for a device with a reflective, hi-res, high speed colour display that gives weeks of battery life.
