BOOKEEN'S CYBOOK ORIZON E-READER TOUCH SCREEN

Here's Bookeen e-book multitouch, the European leader of the e-book reader market. Bookeen’s been showing off its Cybook Orizon e-Reader since early this year, but it is finally seeing the light of day by now. Bookeen will be making pre-order available in Europe starting end of September for a Suggested retail price is €300. Other countries would follow suit. The e-Reader will be available in “mid-October” and the company boast that the 6-inch multitouch screen will provide a reading experience “close to that of actual paper”. That screen is apparently based on SiPix’s so-called “Caress touch ePaper” technology, and packs a 167 dpi resolution and 16 levels of gray. Otherwise, you’ll get built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (no 3G option), plus 2GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot for expansion, 150 pre-loaded books (presumably public domain), and a web browser that promises “unrestricted” access to the sites of your choice.
