hanlin v3hanlin v3Posted Aug 30, 2008 16:24 UTC (Sat) by s52d (guest, #2199)Parent article: iRex iLiad e-Reader: Linux's Answer to the Kindle? (informIT)
iLiand is in a different cathegory. Price/size/features
To read books, I love my hanlin ( http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Hanlin_V3 ), Check mobilerad.com for other simmilar devices: there are plenty.
300 Euro, available in different shops around Eu. (also brabded lBook etc)
Main plus: low battery consumption. Almost a week
Hackable, of course.
Kindle: when I read I am supposed to pay to have my own texts on it...

$350 and, more importantly, http://openinkpot.org/... wow, that is mighty compelling. How's the stock firmware? Have you tried openinkpot?
I'd like my ebook's bezel to be the same color as the page background... Wonder if I could find a version with lighter plastic.
If they slapped a touchscreen on it for taking quick notes I'd buy it right now. As it is... hard to say. It sure looks attractive.

I have a Hanlin v3 as well. I haven't tried to use openinkpot but the problem there is that they still haven't released anything other than this "v0.0" developers only release.
The good news is that they are active.

About the v3: I like it a lot but
- .chm navigation sucks (important for me)
Other than that, if you can control the generation of the PDF you are loading into it (the Guttenberg project has an interface for setting page dimensions and font size & type), then it is quite nice to read on it.
