Samsung’s new eBook was introduced today at the Kyobo book store in Korea.
Its pretty small (5inch screen) for an eBook, but very portable.
The words on the screen are very clear and sharp.
I can’t really compare with other eBook readers, but the reader
seemed slow. It took few seconds to turn a page.
For a couple times, I thought maybe I didn’t push the button, but
it was just taking time to open a file or turn a page.
It would have been better if there were some kind of notice that
it’s busy. Then again, its a eBook reader, I guess speed isn’t really a big issue.
Unfortunately it does not have PDF reader but when you put PDF files into eBook reader via USB it will convert it into BMP file. The quality as you can see is not bad.
I just wonder how much space it will take on small 512 mb on board memory.
Since it’s touch screen, one can simply draw or write memo using stylus.
This works very well. It feels like if I am writing on a paper.
