Looks like the e-book reader market is heating up, with so many more players making their entrance. Case in point, the new nReader K60 from BenQ which will come with a 6″ touchscreen e-paper display which relies on SiPix Microcup technology, boasting 800 x 600 resolution alongside the capability to display 16 grey scales. Pretty much similar to the Amazon Kindle in terms of technical specifications, although it misses out on the Kindle’s keyboard while being a wee bit smaller and lighter. Other features include 2GB internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, a microUSB port, an USB 2.0 port and a 3.5mm audio jack. Expect that puppy to handle all relevant file formats, including ePub, PDF, TXT and HTML alongside audio and image file formats as well. While it comes with Wi-Fi connectivity, a USB port on top of the device could prove to be its trump card, allowing USB 3G dongles to be connected for portable Web access. BenQ touts a 7,500 page turning experience per full charge, but that rules out Wi-Fi and 3G access.
