Amidst all the pricing shakeup that happened in July, it had looked like Interead, makers of the COOL-ER line of eReaders, would be one of the casualties. They announced that they would be liquidating their assets in an attempt to repay debt. Many, us included, took this as a sign that another eReader manufacturer had [...]

There are typically two lines of thought when it comes to selling your product to the masses. The first is to make it more affordable than your competitors while offering similar services. The second is to make it a better product than you competitors. It’s obvious which way of thinking Sony was going for in [...]

Sony, who has lately been bringing up the rear in the great eReader race, is rumored to be working on a refresh of their Sony Reader lineup.

Although most of these eReaders have been in planning for months (or, as is the habit from some Shenzhen companies, weeks), there won’t be much, if any, ebb in the tide in the [...]

Barnes & Noble struck first with a brilliantly thrown sucker punch followed up by a groin shot to hit Amazon where it hurt — right in the bottom line. Less than three weeks ago the eReader market was a familiar place with established price points. We were eeking down to the $99 eReader with the [...]

Originally announced on April 9th, Viewsonic’s two new eReaders (the VEB620 and VEB625) have the European market in mind. While the WiFi and touchscreen version, the VEB625, isn’t set to launch until July, the Register was able to put the lesser model, the VEB620, through its paces.
