Philips Iliad ebook reader
Pete Wright has a post about an interesting electronic ebook reader from Philips called the Iliad. Philips has taken an interesting approach with the Iliad in that is is similar in form to a slate Tablet PC. It looks like the screen is about 8-9 inches and is very thin and light making it highly mobile (and perhaps fragile?). The uber-cool feature is the pen input that lets you mark and highlight ebooks right on the screen. It uses several connectivity methods for getting ebooks onto the Iliad such as PC connect, WiFi, and SD/ CF memory cards. The Iliad is slated (pun intended) to appear in April 2006.
Yes, thats a cool reader.
