This product has been 8 years in development, and is the best basic eBook Reader on the market. We have pre-loaded eight free classic eBooks. Want more? Our website offers links to 27,000 free eBooks! It is a whole new way to read books and listen to stereo music because it uses an equalizer and gets amazing battery life! At 7.2” long, 4.7” wide and 0.3” thick, it feels really good in your hand.
The ergonomics are perfect! Weighing less than 7 ounces, this is an eBook Reader that you can hold for long periods without getting tired. The E-Ink, E-Paper screen makes for reading with no eye strain, and it doesn’t use power while you read. Our eBook Reader only uses energy while turning pages or listening to your stored MP3 music. At 800x600 pixels, it has a Vizplex screen that is very high resolution, so that it reads well in low light environments. It displays 8,000 pages of text on a single charge, and can be charged either via a USB cable or via power adapter. The battery is easily replaced with one screw if ever needed.
This EZ Reader is intuitive and easy to use. When you turn it on, it takes you directly to your book library. Choose the book you want, or your most recently started book, by hitting the corresponding numbered button. Go forward or back one page at the touch of a single button> or hold the down the button to advance 10 pages at a time. Of course it bookmarks easily! The numbered keys take you anywhere you want to go with a minimum of delay, and if you make any mistake, it has a button to take you back to the page before. You can even use "go to page" to jump immediately to where you want to be.
The product supports many languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Big 5 Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. Font sizes are adjustable and it can display both vertically and horizontally. It comes with free ear buds and a nice crush-resistant “leather” case. It has a standard 3.5mm earphone jack, and is ideal for noise-cancelling headphones. We expect to release the eBook in colors such as: Black, Pearlescent White, Electric Blue, Silver, and a Metallic Red!
Coming in March is the EZ Reader Plus and EZ Reader PRO, offering the lightning fast Epson controller and such things as Touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SCRATCH (write directly onto the screen), and /or 3G wireless capabilities. In August, we hope to release the EZ Reader BigBook, with a 9.7 inch FLEXI screen and a host of new features. This device will "READ TRUE" on an 8 x 10 item. Also, new accessories are on their way to make your reading pleasure even better: LED lighting, special leather cases, and much more!"

PVI Acquires E Ink http://www.digitaleastasia.com/2009/06/02/pvi-acquires-e-ink/
Posted: June 2nd,2009 | By: Jeff
Prime View International (PVI), a leading small and medium display provider and the world’s highest volume supplier of ePaper display modules, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire E Ink Corporation, the leader in electronic paper display materials and intellectual property for approximately $215 million. If you are not already familiar with these companies, you will soon. This deal consolidates two of the major players at the intersection of Web 2.0, eBooks and the green technology phenomenon. In the future, the business drivers will come from consumers who want to read eBooks and the corporate and government sector as it move away from paper and towards electronic records.
“The ePaper display module market will grow to over $3 billion by 2013. This market will see further growth with the emergence of color displays and flexible displays, serving eBook/eTextbook, eNewspaper/eMagazine and eDocument markets. Currently, electrophoretic display technology has more than 90% market share in the overall ePaper displays, and E Ink is the #1 supplier of electrophoretic materials,” according Dr. Jennifer Colegrove, DisplaySearch’s Director of Display Technologies.
“The market for electronic book devices such as the SONY Reader and Amazon Kindle is forecasted to grow from 1.1 million units in 2008 to 20 million units in 2012, a cumulative annual growth rate of 105% over the four-year period,” said iSuppli analyst Vinita Jakhanwal, “PVI and E Ink enabled this market back in 2005 and they have been the display market leaders ever since.”
“The world is searching for green technology that saves energy and cuts waste and still provides an outstanding experience,” said Scott Liu, Chairman and CEO of PVI, “E Ink’s electronic paper meets those needs, especially in electronic publishing and mobile displays. The people in both companies will unite to provide the world’s best digital reading experience and that will benefit all our customers and end users.” Read the company’s press release.
E Ink and PVI together support 20 eBook manufacturers. This technology is also used for cellphones, signage, smartcards, memory devices and battery indicators. In the past twelve months customers have announced many exciting E Ink-enabled devices.

The New York Times is reporting that Google is “at the annual BookExpo convention in New York over the weekend, Google signaled its intent to introduce a program by that would enable publishers to sell digital versions of their newest books direct to consumers through Google. The move would pit Google against Amazon.com which is seeking to control the e-book market with the versions it sells for its Kindle reading device.”
If Google enters the eBook market, be sure to keep your eyes on PVI.
Prime View International (PVI), a leading display maker, announces that it plans to acquire e-paper manufacturer E Ink for $ 125. Earlier the companies had joined hands to create displays for Sony Reader and Amazon.com's Kindle e-book readers. PVI produces displays for various digital devices such as cameras, TVs and GPS systems. The company owns a e-paper unit and is a leading provider of flexible display panels. E Ink makes digital ink technology for cell phones, e-readers, and other portable devices.
PVI is already works with E Ink. PVI is E Inks biggets customers after it switched from LCDs to electronic ink for its display panels. The electronic ink offers higher resolution and consumers less power than the traditional LCD panels .
With the merger, the companies would be able to have a better grab over the growing e-reader market.
According to Russ Wilcox, E Ink's co-founder, president, and CEO,
Combining E Ink and PVI creates a single public company that is dedicated to electronic paper
Further, he added that the common ownership structure will get them closer to customers around the world, streamline the supply chain, and speed up new product development.
E Ink has been sustaining with investments from other companies like Intel, Motorola, and Philips. The acquisition by PVI would make E Ink a wholly owned subsidiary of the company. E Ink would be keeping its headquarters and staff in Cambridge and accelerate its research and development on e-paper and expand its capacity.
Still what remains to be discussed is that PVI's plans for acquisition would come true, only if it is approved by shareholders of both the companies.
