The Gemstar eBook

 
If you love to read or simply need to read, The Gemstar eBook™ lets you carry and use a small library — anywhere, any time. Compact, portable, and exceptionally readable, it puts a world of books at your fingertips.

About the size of a paperback book, the GEB 1150 has a 5.5" diagonal grayscale LCD touch screen. Back-lit for easy reading, even in the dark. It offers adjustable text size for easier reading, a built-in v.34, 33.6Kbps modem and USB connections, and a rechargeable battery for up to 20 hours of continuous use. It holds up to a dozen 300+ page books (even without the memory upgrade). Weighing just 18 ounces, it can go everywhere you go — to work, on vacation, to the beach, or to bed.

The GEB 2150 is about the size of a hardcover book, with an 8.2" diagonal full-color LCD touch screen. Also featuring a back-lit screen for easy reading, adjustable text size, built-in 56Kbps modem and Ethernet connections, and a rechargeable battery for up to 10 hours of continuous use. It can carry a dozen of full-color books, magazines, and newspapers — or ten times that amount with an expandable memory card.

Turn the page with the touch of a button. Page forward or back. A sleek, built-in stylus and touch sensitive screen let you make notes, underline special passages, and bookmark pages — just what you'd expect from a book. What's more, you can search the content of any eBook Edition™, so you can find a business-critical article or favorite character in an instant.

With its high-contrast, high-resolution screen, the Gemstar eBook's unique backlit display offers great clarity. Its soothing, soft-white light offers an exceptional read in any lighting situation — in sunlight or under the stars. Even in complete darkness.
