E-ink - a type of electronic ink created by the E Ink Corporation.
The Amazon Kindle is now available in almost every country including Canada! labratsonline.com/kindle.
The Kindle uses wireless to download books so it's generally the battery life is far less than the Sony Reader.
The Barnes & Noble nook is not available in Canada. But check it out here: labratsonline.com/nook.
The battery on the Sony Reader lasts about 6,800 page turns.
Andy's e-ink watch is from here: labratsonline.com/andyswatch.
Color eBook models are already available in Asia, with more coming: labratsonline.com/color-ebook.
Hey American fans: yes, that's French on the salt box! Canada's officially bilingual...I only know cereal box French though.
