BeBook electronic book reader from Dutch company Endless Ideas will release its new model at the CeBIT 2009 this week. It has been redesigned to include 3G cellular and/or a WiFi data link, touchscreen navigation and wireless RSS support, said the company in a posting on its Web site. The physical design is not yet known.
Onyx International, the Chinese company, said its new e-reader will have a 6-inch screen (like the Kindle) but it will have Wi-Fi and support many more standard formats than Kindle: ePub, PDF, HTML, TXT, CHM, Mobipocket, JPG/BMP/PNG/GIF/TIFF and MP3. It will also have the "text-to speech" option like Kindle. However, no price for the Boox has been made available.
Meanwhile, a Korean company called Neolux has also gotten into the act with a second generation of its Nuut reader, which also has a 6-inch screen, WiFi and support for a bunch of standards.
Rumors have also begun to spread that even thought the Kindle 2 has only been out for a couple of weeks, Kindle 3 may arrive before Christmas. It is said to have a bigger screen and will be faster, according to Fast Company.
