Not just another book on the electronic library shelf, the Alex from Spring Design is based on the Android system. Its dual screen display includes a 6" Electronic Paper Display, and a 3.5" LCD color touch screen.
The color screen is useful for browsing books stored in the device's library and books and other media available online for download. An Android system, you can get books from Google as well as Borders.com. Other partners are expected to be announced before the February release of the Alex. Spring Design hopes to foster a developer community to create apps for the open source eReader. To get online, you can plug the device into a PC using USB 2.0, or browse using 802.11b/g.
Words come to life with the LCD touch screen. A range of file types including many movie fomats, MP3 files, JPEG and other images, as well as PDF and HTML files are easily viewed. A single battery charge supports up to 7,500 page views or six hours of online browsing.
I'll start to build my book queue in the Google library while I wait for the February release of the Alex.
