To me nothing will ever replace a book, however I do know a lot of people who are succumbing to the whole e-book phenomena! So if e-books are your thing (why?) then do take a look at the STAReBOOK e-book reader by Staretek. This one sports a 6-inch SVGA 800 x 600 four-color grayscale e-ink display and draws it juice from a 250MHz Samsung processor.

The reader also has a MP3 Player under its hood, as well as a mono speaker. It uses Linux 2.4.1 as its operating system and is also equipped with 64MB SDRAM and USB 2.0. The STAReBOOK shall see a November release and would retail for $440. Till then just grab a real book !
