Het beeldscherm is gebaseerd op elektronische inkttechnologie. Sony's e-book LIBRIe 1000-EP zal ongeveer 376 dollar kosten bij de introductie in Japan op 24 april 2004. Volgens Philips is het nog onduidelijk wanneer de Europese introductie is. Het apparaat weegt 300 gram en heeft een beeld scherm van 15 cm. Men kan ongeveer 500 boeken, tijdschriften of kranten op slaan. Het apparaat beschikt daarnaast over een Memory Stick-uitbreidingsslot om meer boeken toe te voegen en een usb-aansluiting voor het downloaden van boeken vanaf een pc. Stroom wordt geleverd door vier alkaline-batterijen die voldoende zijn vooor 10.000 paginawisselingen.

Gemstar sluit eBook divisie

Gemstar gaat zijn eBook divisie sluiten. Dat betekent dat ze de verkoop van bestaande modellen (zoals het Rocket eBook en de RCA devices) stil leggen, er is binnenkort geen content meer te koop. Je kunt op hun site meer lezen over garanties etc.  De conclusie is wel gerechtvaardigd dat het businessmodel wat Gemstar had, eigen eBook device samen met een eigen formaat gewoon niet heeft gewerkt.

First Paper-Like Display Commercialization in 2004

Over the last two years, Philips and E Ink have made significant progress on all fronts-from technology development to manufacturing and design-in collaborations with leading OEMs. Philips plans full-scale commercialization of the world first high-resolution electronic ink-based display modules in 2004.  High-resolution electronic ink displays enable a new category of hand-held devices that offer the user superb readability and portability. Key target applications include electronic readers and wireless information devices. This technology is also well suited for more established applications such as PDA's and mobile phones where electronic ink displays offer an attractive differentiation from existing display technologies.   Philips and E Ink are now finalizing the development of the first generation display with our lead customer with commercial launch planned for 2004. Philips and E Ink are ready to launch new design-ins for fully custom display modules for other customers to be commercialized in the second half of next year. The first generation electronic ink displays will be 2-bit gray scale followed shortly by a 4-bit version. For next generation displays, color and flexible electronic ink displays are also planned.   bron:http://www.research.philips.com   (08-12-2003)

e-book niet voor de massa  Het elektronische boek (e-book) blijkt nog niet echt aan te slaan, behalve bij een zeer kleine groep liefhebbers. Minder dan vijf procent van de computergebruikers heeft wel eens een e-book gelezen, zo bleek tijdens de vakbeurs BookExpo America in Los Angeles.  Een aantal jaren geleden was er nog sprake van een enorme hype rond e-books. Verschillende fabrikanten demonstreerden apparaten waarop elektronische boeken gelezen konden worden. Het merendeel daarvan is inmiddels verdwenen door de concurrentie van pda's als die van Palm. Slechts twee fabrikanten, Franklin en Gemstar, leveren nog e-book apparaten. Gemstar, de uitgever van de TV Guide, maakte echter gisteren bekend dat het zijn eBook divisie waarschijnlijk gaat sluiten of afstoten. Ook met de uitgaven zelf ging het niet goed. Horrorauteur Stephen King stopte in 2000 alweer vrij snel met de elektronische publicatie van zijn roman 'The Plant'.  Toch is het e-book niet verdwenen. Amazon.com en Barnes & Noble zeggen elektronische boeken in 'redelijk oplages' te verkopen, hoewel concrete cijfers ontbreken. Volgens het Amerikaanse uitgevers verbond (AAP) bedraagt de totale omzet in de VS zo'n 3 miljoen dollar. Inmiddels zijn er in elk geval zo'n 50.000 titels beschikbaar, waaronder Michael Crichton's 'Prey' (19.95 dollar) en Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code' (12 dollar). Het populairste e-book bij Amazon.com is evenwel een handleiding voor Microsoft PowerPoint.

Het online-magazine "Pocket PC Addict" weet te melden dat het een programmeur is gelukt om de beveiliging op het Microsoft E-Book te kraken. De programmeur Dan Jackson heeft een klein dos-programma geschreven met de naam "Convert Lit" (clit.exe). Hiermee wordt het Digitalrights Management-systeem DRMS gedevalueerd naar DRM1. Volgens "Pocket PC Addict" is het dan heel eenvoudig om een E-Book te converteren naar HTML of gewone tekst. Jackson heeft al laten weten dat er binnenkort een verbeterde en krachtigere versie van zijn programma zal komen. Ook is hij van plan om DLL-bestanden te schrijven zodat anderen zijn CLIT-converteerder in hun eigen E-book-toepassingen kunnen gebruiken. Andere hackers hebben inmiddels al een interface voor Windows geprogrammeerd die het gebruik van de CLIT-converteerder sterk vereenvoudigd. De interface circuleert op het internet onder de opvallende naam cuntlits.exe. bron:http://www.breekpunt.nl (1-05-2003) eBooks in Bibliotheek TU Delft De Bibliotheek van de Technische Universiteit Delft (TU Delft) heeft sinds een paar maanden als eerste universiteitsbibliotheek in Nederland digitale boeken in haar collectie opgenomen.
