Keepin' it real fake: Teclast's dual-screened K9 e-reader looks like Alex and Kindle made a baby

We almost hate to throw the KIRF moniker on a product we wouldn't mind owning, but this e-reader that popped up at the EREXPO in Shenzhen certainly bears more than a passing resemblance to the Spring Design Alex e-reader -- and the button layout on the right is a dead ringer for the Kindle. It's called the K9, the latest reader from Teclast, and it follows a growing trend of Android-powered devices with a color LCD on the bottom and an E-Ink screen on top. The screens measure 3.6- and 6-inches respectively and, while we don't know anything else about it at this point, we wouldn't be surprised it inherits its father's tardiness.

[Ladderless Posted Mar 19th 2010 1:53PM]

It looks like an IPod crowning... Push Kindle, Push!

[bleep Posted Mar 19th 2010 2:05PM]

This product isn't even attempting to pass itself off as anything but what it is.

[Abe Posted Mar 19th 2010 6:47PM]

Does it has Engrish version.

[InspectorEngadget Posted Mar 20th 2010 1:13AM]

@Abe From the manual:

"Is to be having much and many leaky squirrel. In case of squirrel, persons are reading. Watching squirrel to make unhappy a plump feature. Unless reader de-energize, swallowing grandmother juice. CAUTION: Fingerless satisfaction is certain."

Yes, it obviously has a fully functional Engrish version. Seriously man, do your homework next time.

I was thinking Nook, but I'm tired and potentially insane, so I could very well be wrong.

Just looks strangely Racconish to me.
