More On enTourage's Dual-screen E-Book Reader
Barence writes with some more information on a device mentioned in passing earlier today: "The enTourage eDGe eBook reader was the highlight of the CES Unveiled event, which gives journalists a sneak preview of what’s set to appear this year’s show. It has a 9.7in e-paper display on one side and a 10.1in LCD screen on the other, both of which are touchscreens, allowing you to annotate eBooks with handwritten notes or scan through web pages with the flick of a finger on the LCD screen. In a brief hands-on demonstration, the eDGe showed several clever touches, such as allowing you to perform a Google search on the term using the built-in web browser, and then link the search results to the eBook page, which is a great research tool for students reading academic texts. It's an Android device, too."
This sort of device just doesn't look practical. It's not the sort of thing you can use on the tram on the way to work. Like the article says, it's more of a netbook than something sleek like the Kindle or Nook.
I got a netbook for Christmas, and I've been using it on the tram on the way to work for the past few days. I find that if I put it on my lap, it is too hot and weighs too much. The heat irritates my penis and scrotum, and the weight really bothers my penis. So it's not really all that useful to me.
This device looks like it'd be difficult to hold in an upward position for over 30 minutes. You'd probably want to put it on your lap, but this could cause irritation and discomfort.
it creates disease and it is disgusting. stop being homos. or get the aids and die.
CES should define a nigger area code, don't ya think? How about 666 since they are satan's shit?
Handwritten notes? Have they seen my handwriting lately? And the last thing I want to do is to pick up something the size and shape of a pen. I can't even stand to touch my own cock these days.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
