The Reader Digital Book provides a new way to experience reading. It boasts an impressive 6-inch display utilizing breakthrough E Ink technology that's almost paper-like, making it easy to read eBooks even in bright sunshine. In addition, the screen allows for high contrast and high resolution, with a near 180° viewing angle. The text can also be changed between three different font sizes.

A perfect travel companion, the Reader Digital Book offers a unique, on-the-go reading experience. More compact than many paperbacks, it weighs just nine ounces (without cover), is only half an inch thin and holds over 300 eBooks. You can easily hold it in one hand, and with its rechargeable battery you can turn up to 7,500 continuous pages on a single charge.

With a compact and lightweight design you can take the Reader Digital Book almost anywhere. And with plenty of internal memory and a slot for optional removable memory cards, you can take hundreds of titles, user-selected Web content or other supported documents for reading on the go. It will hold over 300 averaged sized eBooks in internal memory and hundreds more with optional removable memory cards.

Viewing text on the Reader Digital Book's screen is just like reading text on paper. Unlike the display of a laptop screen which is backlit and can strain your eyes, viewing pages on the Reader Digital Book is as comfortable as on a real book. But unlike a real book, the Reader Digital Book's text is scalable, conveniently allowing you to adjust the size of text in most eBooks.

Enjoying eBooks on the Reader Digital Book is made easy, thanks to E Ink technology. This new advancement in display technology results in an experience that's similar to paper - high-contrast, high resolution, viewable in direct sunlight and at a nearly 180° angles. And no power is required to maintain the image, so your battery lasts much longer than expected.
