If you can't count anymore on getting special attention by waving around a mainstream e-book reader, how about you try this little beauty straight from China. Dubbed GS601 E-ink, it looks different from any other reading device I've seen so far. Aside from that, the specs look rather mundane:
- Display: E Ink, 6-inch 800x600
- Size (in mm): 160x116x9
- Weight: 1kg (if true, it'd make it the heaviest e-book reader ever)
- Internal Memory: Flash?
- External memory: 1GB-16GB
- Connectivity: USB 2.0
- Battery: Lithium-Polymer 3.7V 1000mA
- Lifetime: "up to 20hrs" reading time or 16hrs audio playback
- Formats supported: TXT, DOC, PDB, PDF, JPG, BMP, MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC, AAC, WAV, OGG
When I tried to figure out the price through the order page, it would say zero yuan, so it doesn't seem to be available yet. Or, it's just a very good price.
