Spring Design’s Alex e-reader is set to being shipping Wednesday as the latest in a long line of digital tablets expected to hit shelves in 2010. Olga Kharif at Business Week reports the device maker has some notable supporters.
The Android-based e-reader supports the common ePub electronic book format as well as HTML and PDF. The device has two screens: one 6-inch electronic ink display for reading text and a smaller 3-inch color touch screen for navigation and other functions. The tablet retails for $399 and “offers full Internet browsing using WiFi connectivity, and later this year will also feature 3G and EVDO/CDMA connectivity.”
