The Asus Eee DR900 e-reader

by roko on December 17, 2010 in eReaders, news, Reviews with No comments

The ASUS Eee DR900 e-reader has finally been launched. This is nine inches of glorious e-reader beauty that, I believe, will give the Kindle a run for its money. Offering over two inches more reading area that many other e-reader brands, the DR900 boasts a beautifully big screen that will make reading an utter pleasure.

It comes with a SiPix electrophotoretic display and the page turns are almost instantaneous. This is really impressive as sometimes waiting for the page to appear can jar you from your immersion in a good book. Although that could just be me, I tend to get very involved when I’m reading.

WHEN Steven P. Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, introduced the iPad, he bluntly took aim at the rapidly emerging e-reader market.

“Amazon has done a great job” with the Kindle, he said. “We’re going to stand on their shoulders and go a little bit further.”

The iPad’s full-color screen and its ability to browse the Web and run thousands of applications certainly make it more versatile than the Kindle, but Apple is not the only company bringing more than just black-on-white text to readers.

ASUS and Amazon team up to pre-install Kindle for PC on netbooks and laptops

by roko on May 24, 2010 in news with No comments

ASUS sells tons of laptops through Amazon.com. Amazon happens to offer a Kindle for PC application. Heck, why not team up and pre-install the app on the ASUS netbooks and laptops that are sold through the online e-tailer? Sure makes a lot of sense to us, and apparently it did to both Amazon and ASUS. Starting today, select laptops — including the Eee PC 1005PE and UL30 — will be sold with the e-book app loaded up. Frankly, we’re not the biggest fans of pre-installed software cluttering up fresh screens, but this sort of partnership surely makes sense with certain devices — in particular, convertible tablets that you’d use to read. You know what would also make sense? ASUS preloading some sort of Amazon application on its Eee Pad. That’s just us playing make believe, but it seems like the two companies are certainly talking. We’re set on getting our fill of ASUS tablet news at Computex next week, but in the meantime hit the break for the full Amazon / ASUS PR.
