iRex Technologies, the Dutch pioneer in electronic paper, brings out a new digital reader dubbed the iLiad Book Edition. It eliminates the burden of carrying books or newspapers for reading purposes. With the changing world, the traditional book reading pattern should also experience a bit of change. Thus, the original iLiad focuses on digital book reading.

The iLiad has already marked its presence amongst the Dutch as it is being used by quite a lot of newspapers that include the Dutch NRC Handelsblad and the French Les Echos. This is the best option to deliver newspapers on a daily basis to subscribers who prefer reading via digital reader.

“We see a lot of potential offering digital books alongside newspapers. It fits with the image of the digital era,” expressed Hans Brons, CEO of iRex Technologies. “We have shown what this technology can do for the newspaper market and we expect to do the same with the book market.”

The only difference between the iLiad Book Edition and the original iLiad is that the latest version does away with an integrated wireless connection for downloading the latest news. Otherwise, it includes similar features such as huge internal storage space of up to 8GB, high resolution and high contrast screen and an in-built 50 books.

Here, owners have the freedom to choose from 50 classic English literature books that ranges from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll to Pride and Prejudice from Jane Austen, from Dracula from Bram Stokers to Wuthering Heights by Charlotte Bronte.

The latest iLiad Book Edition has the facility to swivel at a 180 degree viewing angle for easy and normal paper reading practice. Users can enjoy their reading habit in daylight or a simple reading light.

Now, if readers have completed reading the provided books and want to try out some more, then they can order books online with a few clicks to continue downloading. There are over 49,000 titles available through Mobipocket, the e-book format from amazon.com.

Like me, are you interested in making notes while reading? iLiad Book Edition offers you with pages of an e-book, to carry forward your habit. Further, you can also transfer it to a computer and share it with others.

By just the touch of a button or stylus, users are also allowed to navigate the library, open a book, turn pages, and zoom in and out of a section or picture in a book.

The latest iLiad Book Edition has been introduced to meet the demands of the book readers. They can grab it right away for an estimated cost of €499.
