IFA 2010: Elonex 500EB colour eReader previewed

While eReader's sit in a somewhat precarious position now that the tablet onslaught is in full swing, that hasn't stopped Elonex from marching ahead with their latest colour eBook reader, the 500EB. Darren Smith from Elonex talks us through the device in the video above. As well as extensive book file format support, the , the 500EB also featured MP3 playback whilst reading, as well as 720p video capabilities. Robust and affordable at £99, our main concern lies with the 500EB's screen. It was pretty reflective for an eReader, and though it packs in TFT colour smarts, they appeared a little washed out during our brief time with the device.
