Hyper Gear ereader encrypts files, keeps documents safe from prying eyes

Haipagia’s ¥39,800 ($437) Hyper Gear ereader may just be a rebadge on the surface, but the all-too-familiar exterior conceals a rather unique software package underneath. Boasting a 6-inch display with an 800 x 600 resolution, the reader includes an encryption function that can wrap your files in DRM and password protect whatever you like. If the device gets stolen, you can then rest easy knowing that files won’t disclose themselves to evil eyes even if ripped from the unit’s internal memory. Admittedly, something like this is well suited for enterprise and academic environments, but we’re guessing the paranoid in attendance are also taking notice.
