To read digital books,   usual options of products are  from Amazon or Barnes & Noble. Or Google, which recently announced a product manufactured by another company, which has the technology of the Google display eBooks. The iriver Story HD is confirmed for the U.S. market for only $ 140 starting next week.


The device remembers well that the Amazon Kindle, complete with a physical QWERTY keyboard for entering information. Its display is 6 inches, with the right resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. As would be expected, it contains the e-ink technology, which transforms the characters and shapes into something very close to the pigmentation of the paper.

According to the finder, who buy the HD Story will have access to more than 3 million free books, which are currently in the database and service of selling books eBooks Google. Not only that, there are other "hundreds of thousands" of securities available for sale through the platform. After choosing the publication, the download is done by the device, without relying on cables to connect it to your computer and transfer the data.

Turning the unit on, the user will see the option to access the Google eBookstore. The shop was introduced last year, but never saw major releases that could leverage their growth and popularity. With the new e-book reader, it may be that this claim no longer exists.

The price of iriver Story HD is similar to the Simple Touch Nook, the model recently launched the Nook that has no physical buttons, only virtual, thanks to a full touchscreen display. The Kindle is also sold for $ 139 - a more affordable model is priced at $ 114, but the user needs to see advertisements before accessing their books.
