Thats why everyone will buy it.]]>Jan 26th 2010 4:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/
what a bunch of idiots.]]>Dec 9th 2009 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/
Um, me. I don't want none of that fancy crap. Just a super cheap E-Reader with a good sized quality screen able to read with many formats with a some good options. Is this so much to ask for?]]>Dec 9th 2009 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/
I'm with you. I've got gigs of material that I need a good reader for. No battery-draining wireless required.

Engadget has obligations, of course, to hammer away for the most tech per product, but it doesn't mean that real people want it.]]>Dec 9th 2009 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/
I Agree though, I could care less about anything less than a nice screen, being able to support a gazillion formats and perhaps wifi. Well that and some decent way to take notes or annotate (but I do quite a bit of editing/proofreading that typical users don't).]]>Dec 10th 2009 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/Dec 9th 2009 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/Dec 9th 2009 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/
I would understand if they were offering books primarily to drive hardware sales, but their PC and iPhone reader apps suggest that they really just want to sell as many books to as many people as possible.

Why, then, do they not just sell industry standard ePub downloads usable on any device? I have a Sony reader and I would gladly buy my books from Amazon instead of Sony's store if I could because they have a better selection, the same way that I occasionally buy music from AmazonMP3 instead of the Zune Marketplace.]]>Dec 9th 2009 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/Dec 9th 2009 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/
If and when the flood of other ebook readers increase market share and mindshare so that Kindle is a small minority, I'm sure Amazon will switch to an open format. Right now they're probably still hoping for Kindle dominance. (And with some justification for that hope - I'd guess it's still the best-known device by some margin.)]]>Dec 9th 2009 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/Dec 9th 2009 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/Dec 10th 2009 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/Does it have Android? no.
Does it have Mac OS X? no.

Why is this device interesting?]]>Dec 9th 2009 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/Dec 9th 2009 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/
Those things most certainly do determine it's worth.

The only interesting device (to me) among e-readers is a 10" Android device (the Entourage eDGe). And the only thing that could affect my interest there is if the 10" Apple Tablet (running Mac OS X, not iPhone OS X) comes out of the world of fiction.

So ... any ereader that isn't a 10" tablet that's also fully functional general purpose computer, running Android or Mac OS X (or maybe Maemo or Ubuntu), isn't even remotely interesting to me. And therefore, such devices have no value to me. So, those 3 features definitely determine the device's worth.]]>Dec 9th 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/Dec 9th 2009 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/
That being said , what with make the E-readers big to everyone is to build a cooler e-reader and make Marvel and DC as well as other comic companies to bring there Digital libra to these devices .

I will agree that if Apple could pull off a Colored E-reader , with a full touch screen to it , and add the market to iTunes we are going to see a big increase of sales on books and comics ..

Personal i would buy one if apple built one , but it has to sport a color screen and iTunes or apple does have to police these books like they did with TV shows and songs . E-Books are just to much at this time . Meaning that the E-book should coast as much as the real book .

Comics could sale for .99 cents to 2.99 depend on the date of the comic . have then cheaper if you by a subscription to that series .

Magazines could also go up for sale at the same price tag as comics .
Books would need to be anywhere from FREE ( Like google and others ) to at least 5 dollars less then the hard copy or paper back copy . ]]>Dec 9th 2009 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/Dec 9th 2009 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/interead-cool-er-3g-e-reader-announced-adds-wireless-to-the-mix/Dec 9th 2009 6:03PM
