e-Book Readers

With Amazon announcing the price drop in their new version of the Kindle other companies are in a frantic race to the bottom for the cheapest eBook Reader. The first to go as low as possible is this new Copia Ocean Reader. It will have a 5-inch LCD screen, which will allow it to have some tablet functionality. There are also social networking features included with the ability to update your Facebook and Twitter accounts. Does the $99 price tag do it for you or do you see this one as an underpowered device that tries to do too much without enough hardware? [CrunchGear]

Some people saw it as a bad thing when Amazon announced they were out of stock of their Kindle and would not be restocking that model anymore. Of course Amazon is much smarter than that and they are rolling out some brand new models instead. This new model will be 21 percent smaller, 15 percent lighter and will have a 20 percent faster refresh rate. It will come in two different colors, white and graphite and have two different versions, one with 3G capability and one with only WiFi. The new model will cost $189 for the 3G model and $139 for the Wifi model. [SlashGear]
