A new word has just been created by enTourage eDGe to describe their e-reader, netbook, notepad, audio/video recorder and player: the dualbook.

Yes, this “do it all” device has a 9.7 inch screen on one side for the e-reader, and a 10.1 inch netbook screen on the other. It has a touchscreen display, WiFi, Android, six hours of battery life, and 3G of usable memory.

It should be available sometime in February 2010, but you can pre-order it now for $490, plus an extra $40 for colors of Ruby Red, Glacier White, and Ice Blue. Full specs after the jump.

Here is something that will shed “light” on the Amazon Kindle 2. Called the Periscope Lighted Folio, the industry leading designer and marketer of integrated book lights in bookcovers for hardcovers, paperbacks, and digital reading devices, today announced the introduction of its Periscope Lighted Folio for Kindle 2 to address this very need.

Available for immediate delivery from www.periscopelight.com at a suggested retail price of $49.95, this remarkable “all-in-one” unit features a retractable Periscope twin LED reading light, deluxe cover, and notebook/pen holder in one attractively designed black leatherette unit. The company also offers a Lighted Folio for the original Kindle 1 reader.

The Lighted Folio’s built-in 5”X8” notepad and pen holder make the Periscope Lighted Folio for Kindle 2 ideal for students and professionals alike. If they don’t need to use the notepad they can snap the cover open for one handed reading! The built-in retractable light is powered by three “AA” batteries (not included) that will last at least 40 hours. The cover features a magnetic snap closure that secures the Kindle 2 when traveling. A mini-travel 110-220V AC adapter is available for purchase separately.

The Periscope Book Light in a Bookcover is a single, lightweight design that integrates a superb, retractable reading light inside a bookcover. With a Periscope Book Light in a Bookcover, the light never leaves the book being read!
