e-ink reader with directory support

pepak · 05-07-2009, 01:19 PM

I wonder - is there any reader on the market that supports directory structure for organizing books? I will need another reader by the end of the year, and this time I want something that works with directories. Other required features are USB Mass Storage Device functionality and either international or custom font support. I am not, repeat not concerned about supported e-book formats, e-book store support, internet access, color, touch screen etc. - they are, at best, a nice bonus.

The Hanlin V3 has directory support (under its standard firmware and under OpenInkPot). This is sold under many names, BeBook and EZ Reader for example.

The very latest (not yet released) Cybook Gen3 firmware adds directory support, see The german epub version of the Cybook.

The iRex iliad and DR1000S have always included directories.

The jetBook is not EInk, but it supports directories too.

Looks like Hanlin V3 might be "it", if it manages to drop by $100 until the end of year. Will need to search the forums for user experiences, though, tech-specs are not everything.

The Hanlin V5 is essentially the same device with a 5" screen, and it is going to be significantly cheaper. I have three EInk-based Readers, and I use my EZ Reader with OpenInkPot firmware almost exclusively now.

Beat me to it.

In fact, directory support and software is something I really like about my DR1000S. I find it easy to use with no problems at all.
