Download and watch full movies and other videos on a crystal clear 4:3 display – great for travel! Play games and install custom Android apps. Install Android applications from the Amazon Appstore. Pros: ***** This is an update to an earlier review******** Upgrade the firmware and install some better apps. A new firmware was released oct 1. Much faster after firmware upgrade though all 3rd party apps have to be reinstalled. After the upgrade and some 3rd party app installs everything seems quicker and now I would highly recommend this to people. Its not perfect but for the price its hard to beat. They also have added a basic user guide on their support site. Cons: Reinstall 3rd party apps after firmware upgrade but its more a minor issue just back up the apk files if you have any installed. You will also have to download any borders books and reconfigure anything youve set up email, settings etc all get wiped but its worth it. Overall Review: You must update the firmware with the one released Oct 1st. I didnt think it was bad prior to the update except on occasion but the firmware made quite a difference. They also have a newer youtube app(havent used it yet). I would also highly recommend installing the Adobe reader for android, Opera mini/Skyfire, Aldiko is also a good addition. I also have gotten pandora to work and it seems to work pretty well but it didnt work until a reboot. Pros: * Nice size tablet - large display * Rubberized non-slip backing * Adjustable Font and Night Mode * Vivid Color Display * Great Looking E-Reader * Quick & Easy Touch Capactive * Easy to Download Borders Books * Instant E-Mail Connection * Wireless Internet Access * Calendar, Alarm, Games Calculator Pre-Loaded. Cons: * Does not play You Tube Video * Internet a little slow to load * Not a lot of apps in the Cruz Market. Overall Review: As an e-reader, the Micro Cruz is fantastic! Large display area, touch capacitive page turn, instant download from Border's Books, rich color display, bookmarks and adjustable font with day or night viewing modes. The bonus is it's ability to act as a tablet, too. E-mail is quick and easy to access, the internet browser connects to wi-fi, and there are downloadable app's. It is not an I-Pad; but it beats all other e- readers hands down! Compare it to a Nook or Kindle and there is no doubt - Cruz is a winner! Pros: Very upgradeable. Works great out of the box, but you can make it rock with some customizing. Cheap Better than the Cruz Tablet, don't waste your money. Cons: Resistive screen (but you can get over that) Overall Review: My daughter who is less than 3 years old can use this thing, so can you. The resistive screen is not as bad as most people make it out to be. Downloaded a custom JGM ROM, put in an 8GB internal microSD, "tweaked" it to match the 800Mhz of the tablet, you can get android market to work on it, so you can put a ton of stuff on this thing. I am using Aldiko instead of the stock buggy Borders program and it is much much better, all within a week of owning my first android device. If I can do all that, so can you. I'm still finding cool stuff I can do with it. The screen is not as nice as a capacitive screen but it is not that bad either. Pros: Nice Screen, Android OS, Can get other android apps off the internet and load them on to it, Aldiko reader app works great on it. MP3's play perfect. Cons: Response somewhat slow at times when hitting the home key or back button. Speaker volume not great. Overall Review: I got this device for a family member, tried it out for a week and overall liked it. First I had to leave this comment because so many people were giving it bad reviews. 1. I ddn't even use the Borders\Default book reader, it did seem slow. I just went to the app store and downloaded Aldiko, awesome app, great Public Domain books. 2. I have a droid X, and thought it would be as responsive, it lags a little, and sometimes you have to keep your finger on it a little longer to select something. 3. I hooked it up to my computer everything worked as expected, could drag files to the drive back and forth to both the internal memory and the SD card. 4. I have tons of divx and xvid movie files which I tried to watch, wouldn't work. Played around for a few days and found "Mp4 Video Converter Factory", made sure it used the MPEG4 codec, and wahla, videos played on it. The video hiccups a little but the voices stay in sync, at least on the videos I converted. All and all I like it for the $ Pros: Large screen, good size and weight, fairly responsive. Good price, almost a tablet but not quite. 4GB internal SD included also has an SD Card slot. Many Classic books available for free in the Borders store. I downloaded 20-30 immediately and will probably keep me busy for quite a while. Cons: definitely slow but for 199 you shouldnt be expecting a super computer. Apps can be a little hard to find since google prevents tablets from using their market. Overall Review: Overall it fulfills its intended purpose its a Reader that is capable of doing more. I personally like it so far though the lack of apps I think is hurting it. Wish it was slightly more powerful but they do not market it as a tablet they have a more expensive device for that coming soon. If you want a reader that can do a bit more this is great for that. If you want an IPAD competitor this is not it wait and get the Cruz tablet in a few months or some other item thats out but it will most likely cost more. Pros: Nice E reader, Just got it for my wife. If you have an android phone its easier to understand. Cant get all the apps, but im sure there will be an update. My wife love's it. Remember you bought a E book reader. Sometimes you forget while browsing the web with this, down load dolphin browser. Its faster than Google. Very good Book reader. Cons: can be slow. some apps freeze, but force close will work. Headphone and speakers work at the same time. Wish the speakers would shut down when you plug in headphones. Overall Review: Movies run nice on the Cruz. For the money you get more than a reader. Clear wording and Night screen in reading was an excellant add on. I like it but, I may have to buy another one for myself. Pros: I believe this is an incredible device for the price and size. I am downloading the android market as we speak.

PDF generated at: Tue, 10 May 2011 10:49:41 UTC Comparison of e-book readers 1 Comparison of e-book readers An e-book reader, also called an e-book device or e-reader, is a portable electronic device that is designed primarily for the purpose of reading digital books and periodicals. An e-book reader is similar in form to a tablet computer. A tablet computer typically has a faster screen capable of higher refresh rates which makes them more suitable for interaction. The main advantages of e-book readers are better readability of their screens especially in bright sunlight and longer battery life. This is achieved by using electronic paper technology to display content to readers. Any device that can display text on a screen can act as an e-book reader, but without the advantages of the e-paper technology.

Introduction In researching and implementing new research environments, hardware is an important feature that up until recently was not a central concern: it was implied to be a personal computer. Larger (such as tabletop settings) as well as smaller digital devices (as the PDA) have existed for quite some time, but especially recent hardware such as dedicated e-reading devices (the Kindle, 2007), smartphones (the iPhone, 2007) and tablet computers (the iPad, 2010) have widened access to information, by extending reader control of digital texts.

  • E-Book Market Recent Developments and Competitive Concerns
    MASTER PROJECT E-book market Recent developments and competitive concerns June, 2011 Rocío Prieto Julieta Schiro Master in Competition and Market Regulation 2010/2011 E-BOOKS MARKET Recent developments and competitive concerns by Rocío Prieto and Julieta Schiro Abstract The e-book market is starting to take off in the EU and several competition concerns are arising. Due to the novelty of this market and the lack of information and studies on the topic, it is worth analyzing the main patterns, players, and strategies that have been observed so far, both in the US, where the market is more developed, and in the EU, where the market is still in an initial phase. In both cases, a main feature is the pricing arrangement in place between publishers and retailers (i.e. wholesale model vs. agency model). Each of these models implies different competition concerns (predation vs. collusion, respectively) but a common aspect is that, to be able to deal with these behaviors from a European standpoint, a higher degree of harmonization in countries’ policies is necessary.
