Aiptek Ebook reader
Netbook News is visiting Taiwan this week, and they came across an ebook reader that's only available in Taiwan. They took a few minutes to shoot a hands on video:


I went looking for more information rather than simply post their video. This device is by Aiptek, maker of digital video cameras, LCD screens, and other small electronic devices. Coincidentally, Aiptek is an exhibitor at CES 2010. I will certainly stop by their booth.

I also found a number of other Youtube videos posted by Aiptek, including one on the ebook reader:


I also found the support site Aiptek created for their ebook reader. They also opened an ebook store. Last but not least, here is an Ebay auction for the device. I got the following specs from the auction:
  • 8" LCD
  • 800x600 color screen
  • MP3 support
  • comes with 20 books
  • 512MB storage built in
  • SD card slot
  • USB port (both host and slave)
