UK-based Elonex International has partnered with Borders UK to launch a 6-inch eBook reader.
According to Elonex, the new eBook reader comes with 4GB expansion card which lets the user carry up to 8000 eBooks, pictures and files. It is 9mm thick and weighs around 180g.
The company said that the new eBook uses e-Ink technology and each page is electronically printed on the screen. It enables the user to change between eight different font sizes and also rotate the eBook into horizontal format enabling the user to read longer line lengths.
The eBook reader is compatible with the Adobe digital editions software and comes preloaded with Sudoku and ‘100 of the all time’ classic eBooks.
Nick Smith, CEO of Elonex said: “Borders is a strategic partner for Elonex and key for the launch of the Elonex eBook. Borders stores not only have an excellent presence on the high-street and in retail parks, but also provide customers a relaxing and friendly environment where they can get a hands-on experience with the Elonex product range we have in-store.”
The new product, which is available at Borders UK stores nationwide, is priced at £189. An optional eBook accessory pack is available for £29.
