Fujitsus Color Screen eBook Trumps the Kindle in More Ways Than One
Posted in: amazon, ebooks, kindle, Today's Chili
Perhaps I posted too soon. Moments after I spent a few paragraphs lamenting the lack of a color screen on the new Kindle, our editor-in-chief sent me a link to a news piece about Fujitsu’s new ebook reader. The new reader features a much larger screen–about the size of a standard screen. Better still, the thing’s in color.
The device is based on Fujitsu’s FLEPia technology, utilizing wireless data management. The reader is a skinny 12-mm thick and features Wi-Fi, USB 2.0, an SD slot, speakers, Windows CE5, 50 hours of battery life, and a touchscreen instead of a keyboard.
This device seems to trump the Kindle 2 in every way, except for one key point: price. The Fujitsu e-reader will run you around $900, which make the Kindle’s steep $360 price tag look like chump change. Looks like I won’t be reading comics on it any time soon.
