Anyone heard of the zzBook?

[graypal]

Hi

I have had a cybook opus for about 8 months, and am really happy with it.

However I was looking at ereaders last night, because I am after after a slightly bigger one to read at home, and came across one I have not seen before, the zzbook.

It has a 7 inch screen, as opposed to the 5 inch, and while it is not e-ink, it says it is like reading normal paper, but also plays videos, photos, and plays music, so I just jumped in and ordered it

Can't seem to find anything about it on the net and was wondering if anyone here has heard about them.

Probably should have asked before pressing "buy" but it does look to be just what I was after.

Thanks

Gray

this? http://zzbook.co.uk/

I have seen the shell before from one of the Chinese manufacturer. Im a bit annoyed at them for calling a normal LCD display "c-paper". seems like they are trying to mislead people to think there is something special about it.

It sounds like a standard 7" Android tablet.

LCD - that gives the game away. If you like reading from the e-ink screens, then avoid this one. Unless you want an LCD screen.
