At first I thought this was the tablet that was announced earlier, thats what I really want to hear about..]]>May 27th 2010 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/May 27th 2010 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/
The scanner thing would be really cool if you could make it automatically look up and then download the highest-seeded torrent. Then you could just walk around the bookstore scanning what you like (cue the "pew pew pew") and seeing it automatically download to your reader. I know, I know, that's terrible and I'm an asshole. But you have to admit, that would be pretty cool.]]>May 27th 2010 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/May 27th 2010 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/May 27th 2010 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/True.. You would have to poke out at least one eye for the iPad to be comparable. ]]>May 27th 2010 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/They're not supposed to. One is a tablet, the other is an eReader. I'm currently looking at getting a tablet and an eReader. Yes, a tablet (iPad OS, Android, Windows, etc.) can read books, but eInk is what makes these devices attractive. I hate reading off screens, and the weight of lengthy texts. Thus an eReader is the perfect solution. The iPad is not the be all and end all of anything.]]>May 27th 2010 7:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/May 27th 2010 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/May 27th 2010 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/
Are there any e-readers with actual e-ink (and at an affordable price) that can make the same claim? I know Sears has 100 dollar aluratek (sp?)
e-reader that isn't formally attached to a particular book seller. I know it *cannot* do amazon's books, but am fuzzy about the rest.]]>May 27th 2010 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/Yes most of the readers besides the kindle and nook allow you to purchase from anywhere because they use epub with standard DRM PLUS support many other formats. ]]>May 28th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/
Have to clarify here, I have a Nook and I can purchase from B&N and almost every other site except Amazon and I can download books from the library. B&N does use it's own DRM, but you can read standard ePub from Sony, Kobo, Fictionwise, etc.]]>May 31st 2010 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/May 27th 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/May 27th 2010 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/May 27th 2010 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/acers-6-inch-lumiread-to-offer-barnes-and-noble-ebooks-enhance/]]>May 27th 2010 1:06PM
