Million-E Culture e-Reader
Chinese company Million-E Culture Industrial has previewed its new e-reader with a resistive touch screen. This e-Reader looks like an iPhone and has a built-in Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b and g) and 3G connectivity.
This e-Reader does not have a trade name yet but has many features like a LCD screen which lets you search books by filenames, auto-resumes on the page you left on and bookmarks any page, all by finger touchscreen.
Up to 4GB of SD memory allows you to store 2,000 books (approximately). A single charge will power your device for five to six hours. Million-E Culture's e-Reader supports almost all formats including MP3, WMA, APE, FLAC, and AAC for music, JPEG, BMP for pictures, AVI/MP4 for video, PDF, TXT, CHM, FB2, RTF, TCR, PDB, OEB, HTM, PRC, HTML, EPUB, DJVU, IW44, IW4, and DJV for text.
The retail price may be $220 US but has not been finalized.
