      I have Iliad from irex (http://www.irextechnologies.com/products/iliad). They started selling quite sometime back but somehow didn't get as much publicity as Amazon and now Sony's latest reader.

      I find it quite good and like the large screen (main reason for buying). Doesn't have wireless connectivity though.

        We'll the assus eze pc is about £199, so they probably just ripped of the
        keyboard and repackaged it.

          you get two screens, + you can swivel it into a tablet and just use the one
          screen, simples!!

            There's a classics app which makes it look like a book - quite nice.

            I've no wish to read Dan Brown's latest missive but I did note it was available as an iphone app now too.

            Now apple have enabled in-app purchaing, I see no reason for a kindle/e-reader app not to take off fully.

            That said, the screens a bit small and I'd prefer a book...

              If the keyboard + small display cost the same as £100 + 2 bigger displays that would work ..

                Probably because it costs 2-3 times more than a Sony or a Kindle ?

                    No the conclusion is that you're an ignorant loser who can't help commenting on stuff you know nothing about.

                    There is software that makes the screen look "book-page like", as opposed to being a hinged book-like object. Sorry if it's to complex for you

                    HTH etc.

                      What exactly should this software do for you - read it aloud?
