Bebook Portable E-book Reader Announced

02 Mar, 2009, 1:49 pm IST | Siddharth Bhatia |

This is one market that has not really kicked off in India, but I feel it has potential. There are higher end PMPs that play all kinds of media including ebook pdfs, though having a dedicated device, with adherent features is always a gadget lover's preference. Thus these ebook readers seem very attractive. First there was the Kindle, highly promoted by Amazon, and now we have the new Bebook by a company called Endless Ideas.


It supports various digital document formats such as .doc, .txt, .pdf, .jpg, .htm and .rtf files. You can carry books and documents into a device which is the size of a single book. It has E-paper and patent E-ink technology that claims to consume low power. The books can be read even in bright sunlight. It has Wi-Fi and USB connectivity. The pricing and availability is not yet announced, so stay tuned.

It's quite short and it doesn't have any sort of versus multiplayer but The Darkness II is a polished and brutal shooter you should definitely check out, especially if you like ripping dudes to shreds.
