Ocean and Tidal
DMC WorldWide unveiled at CES six e-reader devices in two lines: Ocean and Tidal. The Ocean line range between 6-inch and 9-inch capacitive touchscreen e-ink displays at 600 by 800-pixel and 768 by 1024-pixel resolutions, respectively, and include 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, an accelerometer and an internal microphone, as well as 3G in some models. The Tidal line is similar on the inside but comes in a curvier body in several colors. Prices range from $199 to $299.
Aluratek's Libre Pro e-reader aims for the budget crowd with a $179 price tag. Instead of using an e-Ink display, it uses a monochrome LCD display to keep costs down. It comes with a 2GB SD card (supports up to 32GB) and supports BMP, JPG, GIF, Adobe DRM, ePUB, PDF, FB2, TXT, Mobi, PRC and RTF formats.
Entourage Edge
Entourage Systems calls its Edge e-reader a "dualbook" because it uses a hinged form factor. It's WiFi-enabled, has 9.7-inch e-ink display and a 10.1-inch LCD screen and offers 200,000 trade books from publishers such as McGraw Hill, John Wiley & Sons and the Oxford University Press. It will cost $490.
