Before we intend carried away, ready in nous this is 100% rumor, supported on a counsel that Gizmodo got from a ostensibly experienced tipster. What isn’t gossip is that a Barnes & Noble eReader passed finished the FCC. What IS gossip is that the figure could be streaming Android.

Why an eBook Reader with Android you ask? My discourse is better…  ground not? It has everything you requirement and could be bespoken and restricted to meliorate help its set purpose. You’ve already got drivers for contact sensitivity, 3G connectivity on GSM and CDMA, Wi-Fi, auto-rotate, on concealment keyboard and such more. Why build what is already shapely for you?

Take Android, make the appearance/UI, bounds what crapper be downloaded by instalment a copyrighted eBook accumulation of sorts and provide it a go. A whatever info were leaked by WSJ:

The figure is due to feature a six-inch concealment from digital-paper concern E-Ink Corp. with contact signaling and a realistic keyboard, same the one utilised on Apple Inc.’s iPhone.
