I also want an ereader only for reading. All the other things add weight and cost. And wi fi, G3 etc... are not good for health. For the same reasons you shouldn't handle a mobile phone too much. But an ereader is in your hands for many hours. I'm very worried about those things, electromagnetic waves etc... and don't want them in my ereader. I've got a Cybook Opus because of that, but I also need a bigger one for home use and reading pdfs. So is it confirmed that no 901? I've searched everywhere on the web and couldn't find it.

It seems that irmar is not the only one who is afraid of an EM field. The most conclusive piece of information that I found stated that:

It seems that everything with an antenna, like a mobile phone, keeps sending signals even when it's switched off.
I'm in love with my small Opus, but I do need something on those lines, only bigger. Last edited by irmar; 11-29-2010 at 01:49 AM. |

Sorry if my terminology is not always correct, English is not my first language, I put "waves" instead of "EM fields". No need to make easy fun of me.
Yeah, "electromagnetic" and "electronic" is more or less the same word, is it not? Well, not exactly. If you imply that all electronic equipment has EM fields, you're right, but surely you must know that wireless communication (like router, mouse, keyboard, phone etc...) is more harmful in that respect than non wireless. So yes, an e-reader will still have those, just as a PC or a TV etc..., but if it can go online, it's a significant jump, not the same thing at all. |

While the harmfulness of these waves could be controlversial, you can just turn it off. No, if you turn it off, it won't send out signal. I hope that helps clearify things. |
