e-Reader Cool Pink 1GB, 600 x 800 Pixels
Read any good books lately? We have, yet our shelves are completely bereft of the papery, space-thieving blighters. And that’s because we’ve been perusing the hottest fiction, romance, fantasy, horror and more using the incredible COOL-ER eBook Reader.
Set to become the iPod of eReaders, this wafer thin gizmo will revolutionise the way you read and buy books. Because let’s face it, much as we love good ol’ paper and ink, the relentless march of technology waits for no one – after all, you’re reading from a screen right now.
Capable of storing between 500-800 novels, the 1GB COOL-ER (expandable via SD) uses E-ink technology to replicate the experience of reading a book. It has to be seen to be disbelieved; the glare-free 6” display looks just like paper. You’ll be tempted to lick your finger to turn the pages. It’s also unaffected by direct sunlight, so you can carry on reading wherever you may roam. Amazing!
Simply download your books from any of the countless online sources floating around in cyberspace and drag them on to this USB friendly slice of genius. It’s easier than…erm, picking up a book. Better still, all COOL-ER owners receive a 25% lifetime discount at Coolerbooks.com, home to over 750,000 titles, 500,000 of which are completely free. You’re spoilt for choice: thrillers, chick lit, biographies, children’s books, languages, best sellers – we were even gripped by a guide to used Fiat Bravas, which is hardly surprising because we still haven’t got over the novelty of reading books digitally. Bulky tomes? How terribly last century.
The COOL-ER’s internal battery charges in around three hours and lasts for 8000 page turns (the equivalent of reading War and Peace five times). And should you fall asleep (which you undoubtedly will if you’re reading War and Peace five times) it automatically switches off after 15 minutes.
