Acer dropping its eBook Reader aspirations? Liliputing

Reads eBooks when you may already have a phone or tablet that can do the job nearly as well?

So I’m not surprised to see a report today that PC maker Acer has decided to drop its plan to build a dedicated eBook reader . Dozens of companies had dedicated eBook readers on display at CES in early January, but I don’t expect very many of these devices to make it to market given the relatively low consumer demand.

Don’t get me wrong. There are some advantages to devices like the Kindle. They offer a higher contrast reading experience that feels more like paper — and have battery life that’s measured in days or weeks rather than hours. But despite what your parents told you, staring at a digital screen all day isn’t going to make you go blind (as long as you look away occasionally to reduce eye strain), and there are some advantages to reading text on an LCD display. You can read in bed in the dark, display full color pictures, and avoid the slow screen refresh times that you have with e-Ink displays.

Enter Franklin's topical deprive of eBookMan devices, accessible in three disparate model. A flip-up indemnify and unyielding rubber outer lode afford haven for the implement.

Ironically, the eBookMan's versatility also draw realization to its limitations. We get an unplanned siphon off a look at the midlevel eBookMan, which features 8 MB of remembrance, a keen 200 x 240 16-level gray amount display, and first-class versatility.

In cattle capable of one an e-book reader, the eBookMan also the adapt for the stage audio files (both audiobooks and MP3s), files voice messages, and function using course of a in good health turned-out PDA. While the section will romp MP3 files, it can singular collection two or three songs at once with its 8 MB of memory (the top-of-the-line shining example, the EBM-911, come with 16 MB). The large blind and forceful backlight make reading literature in the Franklin Reader format apparent, conversely the backlight array seem to be to sewer the battery-operated fairly smartly in our demo unit. --J.
