These devices are interesting to Americans mostly as a glimpse of the evolution of color e-ink. customers expected to begin on Monday January 16. this year, a representative for Ectaco says the company is taking online pre-orders for its $500 JetBook Color e-reader with shipments to U.S. launch for this device, according to E Ink spokespeople.Īlthough E Ink says its color screens will not be available in the U.S. The company has an unremarkable 5-inch black-and-white reader in our e-book reader Ratings, but has no plans for a U.S. And Mirasol, the Qualcomm division whose prototype color reader I saw at last year's CES, has the Hanvon C18, a 5.7-inch device that will launch soon in China.Įctaco won an Innovation Award from CES for the Jetbook Color, which focuses on educational use with such features as an interface that organizes homework by subject and provides links for communications to and from teachers. E Ink, which makes the black-and-white screens for both Nooks and Kindles, was showing the Jetbook Color from Ectaco, a 9.7-inch device aimed at educational use that's already in use in Russian schools.
