eRead STAR-Ebook

Written by Thomas Jefferson

 

 

It seems that the mobile e-book reader mania is slowly, but surely engulfing the entire world. Thus, after the unveiling of the iRex iLiad and of Sony’s own e-book reader, yet another company joins the race, namely eRead from China, who’s presenting what they’re considering to be the world’s lightest and thinnest mobile e-reader, the STAReBOOK.

As most products from this developing family, the STAReBOOK uses the latest E-ink (electronic ink) technology, which allows the users to enjoy a reading experience very similar to the one attained while reading a normal book. The display is very wide (6 inches) and the device can also deliver a very good resolution (800 x 600 pixels, 4-level gray scale).

Moreover, the device is quite sleek (88 x 118 x 8mm, 176 grams), has a pretty accessible control layout and also supports MP3 playback, so that the users will be able to create a very personal reading atmosphere, seasoned with their favorite music.

Another very interesting fact about the STAReBOOK is that it’s not at all power hungry, one charge of its internal Li-ion battery allowing the user to read more than a thousand pages. It’s also important to mention that users can only access content loaded onto SD/MMC memory cards, this being the only type of slot fitted onto the STAReBOOK.
