If you find single-screen ebook readers boring, then why not buy a reader with dual screens instead? California-based Spring Design comes up with Alex, a two-screen e-book reader based on Google Android featuring full browser capabilities. Not only you get to read text, but you could also open multimedia links for a whole new reading experience.
The dual-screen design works by bringing together the reading efficiency of a monochrome electronic paper display screen and a secondary color LCD screen that features dynamic hyperlinked multimedia information as well as third party input. The Alex can be supported by WiFi, 3G, EVDO, and GSM connections, making it a handy reference library that you can bring anywhere you go. This e-reader also includes earphones, speakers, and a removable SD card.
The Alex e-reader is set to become available for selected partners by the end of the year.
