Bookeen is just about to ship two eReaders it showed at the Consumer Electronics Show in January including its first WiFi eReader, the Orizon, to ship at the end of June and a new version of the Cybook Opus to ship May 7.
The Orizon will offer Bluetooth as well as WiFi and feature a 6-inch multi-touch Sipix screen at $250. Shipping next week is the non-connected Cybook Opus $199 eReader that has new quick start technology. The unit gets you reading within 15 seconds of turning it on and its Boo Reader software improves the battery life to 15 days. It has a 5-inch E-Ink screen, stores up to 1,000 titles in its 1GB of memory and it accepts a microSD card to hold 8,000 books. It has an accelerometer to switch from landscape to portrait and comes in seven colors including black, silver, blue, red, pink, green and orange.
Bookeen sells eReaders through Newegg.com, BooksOnBoard, J&R, Buy.com, PCMall, PC Connection, Beach Camera, B&H, Frys.com, Overstock.com, Academic Superstor, and JourneyEd.
