Normally I’d pass on mentioning the accessories, but the new Nook has a few that caught my eye. There’s a stylus, case w\stylus, and a battery pack. I’m curious if the new stylus will work with a Sony or Kobo Touch. I’m going to go see if someone can demo it for me.

The B&N press conference is due to start in about 5 minutes, and I happened across a covered display. Underneath the drape was display units for the new e-reader. The above image is a dummy in a case for the new e-reader. I’d guess that it is based on a 6″ E-ink screen, and the [...]

Kobo don’t believe Borders will survive
May 24th, 2011 · 5 Comments · ebookstore news
Borders put out a press release yesterday about the new Kobo Touch e-reader. Borders will be selling the Kobo Touch, which of course I knew. But there were also several little bits of new info in the press release, and they spoke volumes. I got to this a little late, but it’s important enough that [...]

The Kaser Net’s Go Android tablet is Craptastic
May 23rd, 2011 · 2 Comments · hardware reviews
This is one of those tablets that shouldn’t be set aside; it should be thrown with great force. This is only going to be a brief review; my unit did not work the way it was supposed to. I only bought because it had a keyboard built into the optional case; the specs and appearance [...]

Do you recall how the Pocket Edge went on clearance a couple months back? This could be why. Entourage shut down their website on Sunday and have replaced the Edge Store with a closing notice. The device registration servers will stay up, but right now the only thing you can do on the Entourage website [...]

Kobo Touch first impressions
May 23rd, 2011 · 11 Comments · Uncategorized
I thought I’d take a few minutes and tell you what i think of the KT. It’s a little slow. I tap to open a book and there’s a noticeable wait. I tap to select something in the TOC and there’s await (at first I thought it was frozen). I’ve confirmed that this is probably [...]

Kobo Touch e-reader coming in June – $129
May 23rd, 2011 · 5 Comments · hardware news
Edit: I’m looking at some of the kobo people’s twitter feeds and they’ve already announced the new Kobo Touch. Folks, if you’re going to break your own embargo then there’s no reason for me to follow it. Kobo has just announced their new e-reader, and it’s a doozy. It’s based on a 6″ Pearl E-ink [...]
