How to Pick an Ereader This Holiday
If you plan to give someone you love a great tech gift this holiday season, you can’t go wrong with an ereader. Yes, they have been around for awhile, but the technology has changed along with the selection. The great news is that ereaders are still relatively inexpensive, and they’re bound to get a ton of use — really, who doesn’t need to read more?
A year ago, there were really only two kinds of devices on the market: basic ereaders like the Kindle, the Nook and the iPad. Today, Amazon alone offers six different versions of the Kindle (twelve if you distinguish the ad-supported versions from the more expensive ad-free models).
Qualcomm Mirasol display prepared to rival LCD and e-ink in tablets
Qualcomm’s Mirasol display technology will be in full production by the middle of 2012 and will put pressure on the LCD and e-ink technologies used in most tablets and e-readers, according to Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs.
The new challenger, which has been under development for years, promises sharp colour and reduced screen power consumption that could be used in devices in a matter of months.
The company is primarily focusing the screen technology on e-readers, but Mirasol displays have also been shown on tablets.
Kyobo – first color eReader with mirasol and Android on market
Kyobo Book Centre and Qualcomm have revealed the world’s first ereader to use a mirasol color e-paper display, the Android-based Kyobo eReader. On sale in South Korea today, priced at the equivalent of $310, the Kyobo eReader is targeted at education customers rather than would-be iPad buyers, and runs Android 2.3 with a locked-down custom UI on a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 processor.
We’ve been tracking mirasol for several years now, Qualcomm’s color display technology that promises color, video-capable e-paper with battery life akin to monochrome E Ink screens. This particular panel is a 5.7-inch, 1024 x 768 display using Qualcomm’s front-light technology that uses LEDs to make the eReader usable in darkness. There’s also a projected capacitive touchscreen, as on the Nook, and WiFi, though no 3G.

Apple silently in preparation of OLED backlight system for the iPad-3 ?
As you know LCD need a backlight system, OLED need NO backlight because it is self emitting. So all products can be developed much thinner.
The solution from Apple is to use OLED for the backlight in the LCD Display.
In one embodiment, an OLED backlight may include one or more OLED pixels disposed between two glass substrates. The OLED backlight may be optically bonded to the back of an LCD, which may prevent contamination between the LCD and the OLED backlight and increase the mechanical rigidity of the display device. So with OLED backlight instead of LED backlight the devices get thinner and we got improved light uniformity without the use of light guides or additional brightness enhancing films.
Kobo Vox revealed Android-powered tablet and joins e-reader wars
It’s been a wild ride these past few weeks with surprising early launches for both the Amazon Kindle Fire and the B&N Nook Tablet, making the market that much more competitive for Kobo’s social e-reader tablet, the Vox. The holiday season is also prime time for price-slashing deals, and AT&T’s ahead of the curve with a special deal for a Samsung tablet and smartphone bundle. LG iss also hoping to broaden its Android devices, revealing plans to launch a Google TV at CES next year. It’s certainly a wide world for Android, as the platform supports a blooming array of gadgets.
Lenovo IdeaPad A1 Tablet 16GB Pre-Order for $199 on Amazon
The Lenovo IdeaPad is the sleeper pick for 7-inch Android tablets this holiday season. It has the same $199 price as the Kindle Fire, Nook Color, and Kobo Vox, and comes with features all of those lack.
Like its similarly-priced competitors, the Lenovo IdeaPad has a 7″ 1024 x 600 pixel resolution display, it runs Android 2.3, has 512MB of RAM, Wi-Fi, and supports Adobe Flash.
Free eBooks: Amazon Prime Members Can Borrow eBooks for Free on Kindles
It turns out the rumor about Amazon introducing Prime eBooks was true. Amazon has launched a Kindle Owners’ Lending Library for U.S. Amazon Prime members that allows Kindle owners to borrow ebooks for free, up to one ebook per month per account.
The selection is surprisingly plentiful. There are already over 5,000 Kindle ebooks to choose from across various subjects and genres, including more than 100 current and former New York Times Bestsellers. It shouldn’t be too hard to find one interesting ebook to read each month.
