The Bookeen Orizon
Bookeen has added the Orizon to its eBook reader lineup. This device has a 6" touchscreen, WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth, ePub format support, and an accelerometer to automatically switch between portrait and landscape reading.
Unlike previous models from Bookeen which came in black or white, the Orizon will come in eight different colors. The new ebook reader will also sport a InCell Touch capacitive screen which means the reader won't need a touchscreen membrane in front of the display like the Sony Readers.
It will come with 2GB of storage for 2,000 books and will give you 10,000 page flips on a single charge. No announcement has been made for the street date.
The Bookeen Orizon was announced at CES on January 8th, 2010 with a MSRP of $250 US.
