right, or that, of course...
i just took the time to watch the 30 minute video interview with Loïc Roussel (the other co-founder of feedbooks
). they mostly talked about feedbooks itself, how it works, what the plans are for the future, how it will evolve, the business model... which was quite interesting as well but not so relevant to this thread.
salient points about the feedbooks liseuse (other than those Hadrien has already mentioned) :
- for the moment, since they are still finalising negotiations, they can't communicate much on the price or the name of the retailer which will sell it to start with, but it will be relatively inexpensive.
- it will be released as a
bundle with feedbooks content already loaded, and also with applications for connexting to the site to download RSS feeds etc. ; the device will have some kind of 3G connectivity, and enough internal memory to contain hundreds of books (the amount of internal memory has not been completely decided yet).
- it will definitely
fully support epub.
on a not-necessarily-related-but-still-interesting note, Loïc also mentioned that he considers 2008 the year when everyone finally starts beleiving in e-paper and becomig actively involved, and probably 2010 will be the year when e-paper becomes truly mass-market (really not far away).
i am counting the days until september
and september is my birthday ; i think i know what my best present will be...
