Update on the Kobo eReader
UPDATE FROM YESTERDAY: http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/kobo-ereader.html suggested yesterday's posted eReader from Kobo is based on the http://www.netronixinc.com/EB600.html - if so, it runs Linux, which is all the better.
If true, it not only reads
but might also handle these popular e-book formats:
If true, it not only reads
- EPUB (the open standard e-book format, really just ZIPped HTML) and
- PDF (Adobe's proprietary, but popular, standard, easily created from Ubuntu Linux and OS X out of the box, or from Windows with doPDF.com freeware),
but might also handle these popular e-book formats:
- DOC (handling Word DOC format plus PDF makes it a business tool, too)
- FB
- HTML
- MOBI
- PRC
- RTF, and
- TXT
I will write to Kobo and ask.
That aforementioned e-book website also suggested Borders would retail the eReader in the U.S.; again, all the better.
