"The COOL-ER is Linux-based and is ready to deliver with 128MB RAM, 1GB storage (Expandable to 4GB--SD Card) and its Samsung S3C2440 ARM 400MHz processor.

"The only downside to the COOL-ER is that it has no wireless access so all your ebooks have to be transferred to it via a USB connection from a computer (Windows, Mac, Linux). This one lacking option might hurt its initial uptake but the price point will put it in more hands with or without wireless."
