Lenovo eReader Rumored; Paradigm Shift – Not; Third Party nook Covers no comments
Lenovo, which is the fourth largest computer maker on this planet, is rumored to be working on an ereader. Supposedly the new ebook reader is in internal testing and will soon be ready to hit the market.
Paradigm Shift
Electronista is reporting another new ereader, this one to be unveiled at CES by Paradigm Shift Sourcing and Manufacturing. Rather than using an e-ink display, this device will use a color LCD screen.
There will be both a 5 inch and 7 inch model. The more capable 7 incher will run Windows CE and have a touchscreen, and will be able to read MS Word documents, view YouTube videos, etc. Both models will be able to play MP3 files.
It appears that the 5 inch model, which will be $150, will support PDF, FB2, PDB and non-DRM’ed EPUB ebook formats, while the 7 inch version at $200 will add the ability to read DRM’ed ebooks (presumably ADE).
To me this looks more like an internet tablet that is being repurposed to take advantage of the hot ereader market.
