Cool-er ebook reader
,----[ Quote ]
| The Cool-er is based on a Linux OS and we've
| been informed that the entire OS will be made
| GPL in the near future, allowing developers to
| chop and change the firmware to add the
| features they require. It supports PDF, EPUB,
| FB2, RTF, TXT, HTML, PRC, JPG and MP3, so
| you'll be able to view images and listen to
| music if you choose. Annoyingly, the Cool-er
| uses a 2.5mm headphone jack instead of the
| standard 3.5mm jack - although an adapter is
| included.
