An E-Book Reader that is even more Eco-Friendly

E-book readers like Amazon’s Kindle are supposed to be eco-friendly simply because they obviate the use of paper and printing for publishing and reading a book. Using an e-book reader, you can simply download the book and read it. Not only that, depending on the e-book’s capacity, you can keep hundreds of books with you for the size of a small book.

Now Shanda Literature in China has launched its Bambook which is even more environmentally friendly. It features solar battery recharging. And it has a stand-by time of 24 hours on one full battery charge. Not only that, but it also has text to audio reading capability, which is much more than its competitors have.

This e-reader is wi-fi and 3G enabled and features a six inch display. Bambook’s e-book store has more than three million titles available, so you have a wide selection to choose from. It also offers internet content.

Currently this Bambook is available at a discounted priced of $187, but on invitation only. And there are only 3,500 units for sale at this price. When the product reaches the market it will be priced around $487. It works on the Android platform and supports most document files.
