Where To Buy Ebooks
Blog Created With:
This is another possibility for my perfect ebook reading device. The JE-100 Ebook Reader.The pros is that it is lighter and slimmer than the Smartq7.
The cons is that it's running WinCe 5. That is mainly what let me down with the Smartq7. Alreader will run on it which is a plus. I'm not too interested in linux based operating system because of the lack of reading programs. Which is why the Cmotech Mangrove has most of my interest right now. I like Windows Mobile for ebook reading.
Specs are:
- Operating System: Microsoft Windows CE 5.0(English)
- Processor: 400 MHz
- LCD: 7” Color Display LCD with Touch panel
- Storage: Nand Flash 128 MB
- RAM: 64 MB RAM
- External Memory: TF card up to 4 GB.
- USB Ports: Host: 1 Device: 1
- Images viewer
- Audio and video Player
- MS Office, MS Excel, MS Power Point, PDF etc.
- Audio: Built in Speaker/ Audio Out
- Battery: Li-ion 3.7V (1500mA)
- Battery Life: 3 to 6 hours.
- Dimension: 18.2cmx11.7cmx1.45cm
- Weight with Battery: 250 grams
- Wifi Optional with wireless adapter sold separately (about $30)
It's not a very powerful device, which you don't need for ebook reading anyway. The page turns seem a bit too slow for me on it, though. It does have buttons for page turning, but on the side of the unit, not sure if I like that. But won't know till I try.
It's for sale at US$250. Not too bad a price. I'm going to wait on the Cmotech Mangrove and see where that goes first. Then will decide. Who knows there may be others worth looking at by this time.
A very comprehensive review of the JE100 can be found at Mobileread forums.
That's all for this post about the JE-100 OEM eBook Reading Device

Before some time, I was with my friends and we were discussing about the decreasing popularity of books and decreasing interest of people in reading. Then someone suggested that just like everything else, there should be something to read online. And guess what, we got one. Thanks for your information about Borders Ebook Reader.
