Truly a chimera. Methinks I also saw a built in reading light at the top?

Interesting!
I'm wondering if they are going to continue to support the DRM'd ereader format or move to epub? |

interesting indeed.
I thought plastic logic made an announcement that B&N reader would not be in color e-ink screen, although they do have plans to produce a model later on. from the pictures it does look like it will be in color ( look at the bottom menu part where books covers are in color.) |

So they're basically combining an ebook reader with elements from an iPod touch. I don't expect to see this thing for a penny less than $349, and probably closer to $399 (or more).

It looks pretty cool but I wish they said more about it. We'll have to wait until next week I guess . . .

planned to be sold at less than the price of a Kindle
From the Gizmodo article, "image 5" blurb:
"Pricing is yet unknown, but no matter what, it was planned to be sold at less than the price of a Kindle, with the majority of revenue made up through book sales." http://gizmodo.com/5381149/bn-reader...electedImage=5 btw, this blurry pic look pretty real to me. |
