Aigo EB6301 eBook Reader Revealed

Tweet

China’s Aigo is preparing their own eBook reader. The EB6301 is very, very Kindle-like with the wide, flat, white appearance about it. The EB6301 sports 2GB of internal memory and is a bit steep in price, but for now it only appears to be heading for a Chinese release only.

The EB6301 is sporting a 6-inch E-ink screen, which is the same as the entry level Kindle (although the high-end Kindle DX packs a large screen). The EB6301 will run almost any type of media you want – TXT, PDF, DOC, HTML and will play MP3 music files as well. Unfortunately the device only has a small speaker and no audio port, which could make bus reading-and-listening uncomfortable.

The EB6301 comes with 2GB of internal memory (same as the Kindle 2, vs. 4GB of the Kindle DX), and also comes with a SD memory slot for more memory expansion. Unfortunately, the EB6301 only has USB connectivity, with no WiFi or cell radio connectivity. The EB6301 is now shipping in China for 元2499 ($366).
