Posted by Andy Dixon in "Digital Home Hardware & Accessories" @ 08:00 AM
"In another reversal of plans, Acer has just announced its first e-reader device. The LumiRead will participate in the clear.fi initiative for keeping you constantly in the Acer loop, while also offering WiFi and 3G connectivity options. It looks very much like the tablet we saw teased earlier this morning, coming with a similar integrated keyboard and a smaller 6-inch E Ink display."
Acer have announced their first ebook reader including a partnership deal with Barnes and Noble giving owners access to their one million book library. It has similar looks to existing ebook readers out there on the market, a 6 inch screen, wifi, 3G and the addition of and ISBN scanner so you can scan a paperback barcode for later purchase online. There is a full press release that can be found over at the engadget site.
