Redefining Portable Reading: Introducing Interpark's 3G Enhanced E-Reader Model
There's a new e-reader on the block, y'all! Interpark, Korea's shopping behemoth, has thrown their hat into the ring with the Biscuit. This guy looks pretty similar to the Amazon Kindle 2 and DX, but with a unique twist: the navigation keys are below the display instead of the usual edge positions.
The Biscuit also sports some 3G connectivity, allowing you to grab eBooks and newspapers on the go. It boasts a 6-inch E Ink display with a resolution of 600 x 800, offering eight levels of grayscale for a crisp reading experience. It's got a comfy 2GB of internal storage and can last up to 9,000 page-turns on a single charge.
The Biscuit supports a variety of formats, including epub, PDF, MS Office (doc, docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx), hwp, TXT, images (bmp, jpg, png, gif), and MP3 files. While Interpark has its own bookstore, it's relatively small at just 25,000 titles. You can cop this in Korea for around $350.00.
Let's see if the Biscuit can follow in Amazon's footsteps and expand the e-book market in Korea. Other companies like Cowon and i-Station are working on their own e-book devices as well.
