keyboard blah!!!!!!!! and the white and bronze color scheme is somewhat distracting. the Screen should be gorgous though. Hopefully a new bar has been set.

What is strange is that their website has a different image for the reader. And it's sold out.
that one is a previous generation. Sold out more than likely due to it being discontinued.

Only today (by reading news about the Google reader) I noticed the iRiver Story HD... and yet I am regretting that I ordered a Kobo Touch, because of the iRiver's gorgeous screen alone. And I thought we wouldn't see big advances in e-ink in 2011

On the other hand, I do not like that keyboard, and the implication of alot of stuff I simply don't want on an ereader.

Wonder if you'll be able to sideload books? The Google Books app doesn't allow it.

Quote:
You can also store your personal ebooks library in the cloud—picking up where you left off in any ebook you’re reading as you move from laptop to smartphone to e-reader to tablet.
Are they referring to non-Google books? Do they mean access your non-Google books via browser? Or will the Google Books app be updated for this?

Eink the company said there wouldnt be any new from them this year. iRiver's HD display is built by LG(LG and iRiver Joint Venture ) using eink display film material. It's Pearl eink film on LGs custom backplane

funny if you watch the video at engadget from January they nearly gave away the Google partnership then

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/07/i...ader-hands-on/

"uhh. we partnered with aaaa... content partner that has a very large scale of free and paid content"

it does have onboard storage and sdhc so of course you'll be able to load any of your own non drm epub or ADE drm content. Google Books does not allow you to upload your own stuff at this time. so only content you get through them will be in the cloud.

Is that back panel glass or plastic?

Where did you find the information that it's the "pearl" screen that LG uses?

when will these guys learn that a tablet-like device truly demands handwriting-like text input? Keyboard is but a sorry excuse of an input for a device that is hold in one hand with only a free hand to spare...

it is glass as far as i know. It would not be plastic in any case. LGs flexible display is metal foil backed. they had prepared for the 9.7" and larger displays to be made using the metal foil tech but I have not heard if they have pushed it down to the 6" size
