“As an emerging sci-fi novelist (see my books here),
I’ve actually been taking a vested interest in Ebooks of late. Of
course, I’ve also been taking interest in them from the perspective
that they’ve become yet another battleground in the widening war of
media freedom, an important theater in the much larger war of user
freedom.“And like any digital product, you need a device that can handle
the format. Preferably one that is powered by an open source
operating system. That’s where the Astak 5” Easy Reader Pro ebook
reader comes into play here. The Easy Reader pro is a nice little
device that keeps things sleek and simple without sacrificing
features, or going overboard.“Here are a few of the features and specifications of the
device:“SD card slot expands memory up to 16GB (there’s 512mb
internally)
Ability to reflow any PDF document
Font increases 3 levels or more (ie, you can zoom in on documents
for better reading.
8 grayscale levels for more detailed resolution
Faster page turns
