Hmm. Not sure about this one. Form factor not very inventive and I've heard Kindle's iPhone app is quite adequate for filling in the gaps when you have short chunks of time to read for a few minutes. I give them credit for going after a fast growing niche, but they've got their work cut out for them IMO.

Indeed, the aesthetics seems to borrow liberally from the iPod nano, and features eight different color options.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/14/intereads-cool-er-claims-to-be-the-ipod-moment-for-e-readers/">The feature set is pretty barebones, with no keyboard, text-to-speech, WiFi, or <A href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Whispernet/">Whispernet</A> equivalent -- all files have to be loaded via USB or SD card -- but in its place is a more attractive $250 MSRP</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/14/intereads-cool-er-claims-to-be-the-ipod-moment-for-e-readers/">It'll go on sale May 29th for US and Europe via its website</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/14/intereads-cool-er-claims-to-be-the-ipod-moment-for-e-readers/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.engadget.com/img/B85C2834-460C-40FD-805F-5F5D8306E8C4" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/68B72473-5465-4F8F-BECA-4FC3DBA9F24A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
