What's more, Franklin Electronics is soon to launch a handheld gadget that combines Microsoft Reader with the ability to play audio books and MP3 music.
More impressive is the e-reader's ability to learn your reading speed and give you information on how long it will take you to finish a chapter, or the entire book.
In addition, e-books will let us access a single chapter or even a single page, while the ability to provide regular updates will enable an ongoing relationship with the reader, especially in many nonfiction subjects.
When asked why it went that route vs. the nearly ubiquitous micro-USB (the choice on the tablet's e-reader siblings), the company claims that it's, in part, due to the ability to speed up charging.
