    Default India's answer to Knidle, Infibeam pi reader

    An ex employee of Amazon, Vishal Mehta CEO of Infibeam have launched a ebook reader which is going to lock horns with Amazon'Knidle.
    Its specification are:
    Dimensions:188 mm x 118 mm x 9.5 mm,
    Display: 6 inch. e-paper.
    Resolution:600×800 pixels
    Languages: English, Hindi and other 13 Indian languages
    Supported formatsdf, epub, html, txt, mobi, doc, jpg, bmp, png, mp3
    Battery : Built in Lithium polymer 1000 mAh giving 10 days of power with 4 hours of charging.
    Weight: 180 grams.
    Memory: 512 mb but expandable to 4 gb using microsd card
    Processor:S3C2440
    micro USB port
    And price is Rs 9999.

    You can book it for 999.
    But does this device have really Market for India? Nahh. I can't see it. I personally favors physical book than ebooks. Only use of these are that you can use them for carrying your own library with you. If you favor desktop/laptop using , then I recommend it as there are no distractions on using it like email , twitter or anything else.

    These guys are well known spammer. I have never ever been to their website but I still get stupid e-mails from them. I kept on hitting the spam button and now they all land up in my spam folder. Such is the standard of these guys... I wont buy anything from them myself.

    Indians would prefer to pay a few thousand more for a netbook than for a e-book reader that does practically nothing else.

    An ereader has epaper which no netbook will never have till 2011. Will write a thread when have time.
    There are no distraction while reading the book as in case of netbook: twitter, facebook or orkut or net .

    You can carry your own library.
    But I don't like ebooks as they don't give me feeling of reading and seem awkard. Call me old timer if you will.

    Same view here also but only difference is:' using a kindle is not a sin but a penance.'
