Upcoming Alex Reader: Cleverly Solves Problem of Reading Internet Text

500x_marvell_05_fullThere’s something very unique about the Alex Reader.  It has a regular black and white display like the Kindle, but also has a fully functional ,color, touch sensitive computer at the bottom (think of the iphone or ipod touch).  You can run applications to play music or surf the web, but once you find a webpage you want to read, say the New York Times, Wikipedia or any of the millions of titles from Google Books or Gutenberg.org, you simply click a button and the text and graphics from that webpage are sent to the black and white display for comfortable reading.  There’s no price or release date, but this is easily the coolest reader I’ve seen thus.   Watch Video
