Here ’s another e - book reader with built in PDF support , something the Kindle 2 does n’t have . At a lightweight 5.3 ounces , Bookeen ’s latest portable machine pack a sharp resolution of 200 DPI .
Though sack - size , the Opus features a pretty received 6″ presentation . The 1 GB of ostentation memory can accommodate ePub , PDF , hypertext markup language and textbook data format . It has memory access to a catalog of 150,000 record book title from several retail merchant vane shops , including Mobipocket ebooks . The assault and battery sprightliness is reported at 8,000 Sir Frederick Handley Page flips , though I ’m not indisputable how that compare to the Kindle . At any rate , the twist is good for 21 days at understudy . Also worth nothing is that the Opus miss the Kindle ’s 3 gigabyte wireless characteristic , which passably undermines the portability aspect that Bookeen is pushing . However doing away with that lineament is sure to spare big on cost .
No intelligence yet on pricing , but it ’s lay to come to the US in June 2009 . [ MobileReadviaElectronista ]
