Color e-book readers fall this year?

Could this happen so soon? Qualcomm is showing off a new colored e-reader that is based on what they call “Mirasol” technology, which they claim draws less power than the e-ink technology, but gives back colors instead, [update] and has no backlight[/update]. Not just colors, but not bad video quality as well.

If anything is gonna drive me away from the Kindle it would be that thing I bet. The new gadget is promised by the fall of this year. Will keep my eyes peeled, and so better you do.

QUE eReader To Be Revealed this January

Que, one of the anticipated eBook Readers, is going to be the first it seems to heat up the competition in the year of eBooks reader, 2010.

We know you’ve been waiting with anticipation for more information about QUE, the world’s first proReader. Your wait is nearly over. Mark your calendars for Thursday, January 7, 2010.

On Thursday, we’re unveiling QUE at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. We’re anchoring the e-Book TechZone at booth 11840 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. If you’re at CES, please stop by and experience a QUE proReader for yourself.

More than an eReader, QUE means business.

At CES, you will:

Get a demo of the ground-breaking new QUE proReader.
See our sleek new product design and innovative user interface.
Learn how its new and unique business-oriented features make you more efficient.
Browse the QUE store and see the wide variety of available content.

For more information on QUE proReader, go to www.QUEreader.com.

CES runs from January 7-10, 2010. Visit us at booth 11840 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

If you won’t be at CES, watch our website for video highlights. We’ll be posting the details on both our Facebook and LinkedIn pages. Thank you for your continued interest in QUE.

But will that gadget, no matter how cool, really succeed? As in the end, it’s an eBook READER, so it’s a mean for something, and if that something doesn’t exist, then the mean is mostly useless. Ofcourse Que supports formats like PDF, PowerPoint and Excel, and that makes it open to content from almost anywhere, but not Amazon. Another thing is the pricing. And while some eBook stores like Sony have a large collection, and can closely compete with Amazon in novels pricing, once you go out to business and biography for example, I can see prices sometimes doubling, and that’s gotta come into consideration. So far I haven’t seen a single book prices higher in Amazon than any other store, and most of the time, it’s cheaper if at least few cents, some times couple of dollars, while others, it’s half the price really.

Still I’m looking forward to see what this Quehas to offer, and if you are too, stay tuned for 7th Jan, and meanwhile, you can read more here.
