Bah..
In my opinion:
E-book reader: a device that *have to* replace a "classic" book.
Nothing less,
nothing more.
It should be:
-
Simple, like a book...with
basic features (files "library", bookmarks, index, options) and basic connectivity (usb.)
- Based on e-paper technology (with obvious consequences), with the best visual quality as possible
- Unix OS and with support for the most popular text formats (pdf, etc..)
- Thin and light
- With a "software suite", so that you can customise\adjust your e-book files (for example to create a "linked" index that is missing)
They could sell tons of a device like that, fist of all because it surely wouldn't cost 400-600 Euro, second because hw and "form-factor" wouldn't suffer from useless features
Will a thing like that ever be released?
Anyone here that agree with me?
