Meet the Asus – The World’s Cheapest eBook Reader
Although it has existed since the mid-nineties, e-books have never been so successful and this is mainly due to the fact that readers of electronic books, which have been available for a decade, have proved to be too expensive and a little more comfortable than carrying a couple of textbooks and paperbacks. Sony Bebook have been relatively successful in recent times, with the Kindle from Amazon, but a new competitor in the form of the Asus could be set to breathe new life on the market.The device is being dubbed the Eee-reader and, indeed, seeks to establish a reputation for value and practicality obtained by the range of the Asus Eee PC.It is a good start in terms of price, which claims to be the cheapest eBook Reader in the digital world. Since images are now available, it seems that Asus has not sacrificed quality or ease of use to achieve this goal. Most notable is the design of the hinge backbone that apes the design of a real book, and should contribute to the comfort and overall performance. Full color touch screen is used to film and forth between pages, and users are expected to surf the Web on a page while viewing a book or a virtual keyboard on the other.The presence of a speaker, microphone, webcam and begins to draw the reader away from conventional digital reading device into Netbook territory, and although details are still limited at the moment, it is not enough here to generate a great interest.The reader of the Eee, if that is the name that is passed should officially be unveiled before the end of the year and is likely to be available in the budget options and quality. The estimated sale price is about 100 pounds (roughly 167 in United States Dollars), and although this may still be too expensive to help eBooks enter the mainstream market, the advantage of its additional features suggest it is certainly able to make a splash.Although it has existed since the mid-nineties, e-books have never been so successful and this is mainly due to the fact that readers of electronic books, which have been available for a decade, have proved to be too expensive and a little more comfortable than carrying a couple of textbooks and paperbacks.
