10 Nov 09 Intel’s Reader is not what you think. It’s better, but comes with a price.

As soon as I saw the words “Intel Reader”, I couldn’t help but think: “not another reader”. However, Intel’s Reader is not just made to store book materials, it will read to you from a book.

All you need to do is use the reader to take a picture of the book, and it will use its text-scanning and text-to-speech engine to read the words on the page. This will be very helpful for the blind and others with reading-debilitating conditions. This reader will also play MP3s, and will turn your photographed books into MP3s as well.

There is a video of it after the jump for more of its groundbreaking features, but this device will cost you. How much? Try about $1,499.
