Today at CES 2010, iRiver joined the throngs of companies that are launching Electronic Ink-based eBook readers with the U.S. debut of the Story. Although the device has been available in Germany, the UK, and South Korea for some time, it will hit select U.S. retailers in the coming months.
The Story has 3GB of internal memory and features an SD slot so you can add 16GB more. The device comes with a 6-inch display and is .4 inches thick. It supports PDF, PPT, DOC, and XLS, but most people will just download their books from CyberRead.com, FictionWise.com, ebooks,.com, or RandomHouse.com. There is no wireless, so you will have to side-load books via USB. No word on pricing yet.
Wasn’t it just yesterday we were writing about the death of reading? Did anyone read those stories?
