Mike Cane tipped me to this e-reader when he somehow managed to find it on Amazon.de. It’s from a consumer electronics company I’ve never heard of before, and so far as I can tell this is their first e-reader. The SVP EB701 is based on a 7″ LCD screen. I’m not sure of the resolution, [...]

The Pixel Qi screen is a LCD killer
January 7th, 2011 · 9 Comments · hardware news
Pixel Qi is an exhibitor at CES this year, and I was finally able to see their screen first hand. (I’ve been wanting to see it for a couple years now.) They didn’t have a booth; instead they rented one of the small meeting rooms in the far end of South Hall. It was incredibly [...]

Energy Sistem ColorBook 5″ LCD e-reader, 110€
November 5th, 2010 · No Comments · hardware news
Do you know how you can tell it’s a slow day for tech news? It’s when major tech blogs like Engadget cover a boring little e-reader like this one. I’m not trying to be mean; it’s just that this e-reader is really nothing special. I’ve covered Energy Sistem before; they’re a consumer electronics importer in [...]

Reading eBooks: LCD vs. eInk
September 21st, 2010 · 2 Comments · opinion
There is always a lot of discussion about which screen is better for reading ebooks: and LCD screen, which is often less expensive, or eInk-type screens, which are often more expensive. Interestingly, the arguments often revolve around eyestrain, but I’m not so sure that is the real separator.
Copia reveal an LCD tablet
July 29th, 2010 · 2 Comments · hardware news
It’s only 5″, so calling it a tablet is something of a stretch. The Wall Street Journal has the story, but there is hardly any detial or specs for the e-reader. Fortunately, I’ve seen the hardware before. An e-reader with the same image popped up on JCPenney’s website back in November. That e-reader had the [...]
New 7″ LCD e-reader for Australia
July 26th, 2010 · No Comments · hardware news
The GHT G2ER e-reader has a 7″ LCD screen, 2GB Flash, as well as pretty broad video, audio, and ebook support. But it doesn’t have a touchscreen, Wifi, or support for ebook DRM. The battery life is also disappointing. If you ask me, this is another converted digital picture frame. I also think it’s the [...]

April 12th, 2010 · No Comments · hardware news
Sharp announced their newest invention Saturday. It’s a prototype 10″ LCD screen that can create a 3D effect without glasses. Not that I said prototype; it’s not in production yet. Details are sparse; all we know at this point is that it has a touchscreen and that you can switch between 2D and 3D at [...]
