Welcome to the October 1, 2009 edition of eBook Readers Blog Carnival – the first carnival about the world of mobile reading!
Jason Chen presents Cool-er eBook Reader Review posted at gizmodo.com saying “The Cool-er, a lower (compared to the Kindle) priced eBook reader that lacks built-in wireless functionality and a hardware keyboard.”
Ian P. Christian presents BeBook review posted at Pookey.co.uk blog saying “This review is from a technical perspective. I got my BeBook mostly for reading things like RFCs, rather then for reading novels.”
Julie Daum presents Darden Students Test the Amazon Kindle DX posted at UVaToday saying “More than 300 full-time first-year MBA students arrived at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business last week, and 62 of them were presented with a box containing Amazon’s newest wireless electronic reader, the Kindle DX.”
Marco G. presents An Introduction to Popular E-book Readers posted at Digital Book Readers saying “With the storage space for thousands of e-books and ability to keep battery power for thousands of page turns or several hours, e-book readers can be regarded as portable libraries.”
Steve Borsch presents Ebook Readers: This Year or Next? posted at Scholastic blogs saying “The promise of ebook readers has been with us for a decade or more. One issue has been the low resolution of the devices – the lack of content you’d need to incorporate such a device in to your curriculum.”
Nick Mokey presents Fujitsu FLEPia Color eBook posted at Digitaltrents.com saying “The FLEPia’s eight-inch screen offers 1024 x 768 resolution and up to 260,000 colors, which is obviously quite a bit more than the new Kindle’s sixteen shades of grey.”
David Chisnall presents iRex iLiad e-Reader: Linux’s Answer to the Kindle? posted at Informit.com saying “A few weeks ago, I bought a new toy. A lot of my work involves reading—mainly research papers—and I justified the purchase to myself by saying it was to make this task easier.”
That concludes this edition. Soon we will open a new submission form for you to send reviews and posts for dbReaders Blog Carnival. Every two weeks we post the articles which you have submitted.
