Arbor Books dropped a press release about Best Buy and Verizon joining forces with the new iRex DR800SGÂ wireless reading device to tackle the exploding eBook Marketplace.
Europe’s most popular e-reader, the iRex is pricy at $399 but a worthy adversary for Amazon’s Kindle and the Sony Reader Touch with its wireless 3G network access to Verizon, ATT&T and Sprint. Content suppliers Barnes & Noble and NewspaperDirect are offering a wide selection of newspapers to sweeten the pot.
Everyone knows the machines and the eBooks you read on them are still too expensive. But this article goes on to predict the promising price point somewhere out there in the near future: The $99 eBook Reader, yah? It will happen sooner than you think.
