Five of 2010âs Linux-Powered e-Book Readers

,----[ Quote ]
| Spring Design Alex
| 
| Although powered by Googleâs Android OS, Iâm 
| still including this dual-screen e-book 
| reader in this list. After all, the original 
| Android was based on Linux. So what do I 
| mean by âdual-screenâ? Well, some e-book 
| reader manufacturers like Spring Design have 
| recognized the advantages of a brightly-
| colored touch screen and the superior 
| reading qualities of a gray-scale e-ink 
| screen.
| 
| Hence, Spring Design decided to put together 
| these two screens into one device. The 3.5-
| inch touchscreen LCD screen is for browsing, 
| while the 6-inch e-ink display is for 
| reading.

eReaders and the Danger of a Price War

,----[ Quote ]
| Last week, Barnes & Noble announced they
| would cut the price on their wireless Nook
| eReader, from $259 to $199 ($149 for a new
| WiFi-only edition.)  Many thought this was
| a good opportunity for the third place
| contender to gain market share.  But within
| a few hours Amazon beat Barnes & Nobleâs
| price by $10, marking down the Kindle 2 to
| a mere $189.
