(And, for those of you who keep up with this blog, remember, Amazon just released an update on the Kindle DX a few weeks ago, so this should not be a big surprise!)

Coming Soon: Sharp eReaders

Filed under: eReaders, Top eReader Updates

Sharp has a new file format, known as Next-Generation XMDF, or ever-extending Mobile Document Format, and has introduced two prototype eReaders, signalling their intention to take on the Kindle and the iPad!
 
Both eReaders, announced in Japan this week, will have full color screens and feature the new file format. This file format allows a much more fluid integration of both text, audio and video when viewed on eReaders.
 
According to the corporate press release, “The next-generation XMDF enables easy viewing of digital contents including video and audio, and allows automatic adjustment of the layout to match and meet publishers’ needs.”
 
With persistent rumours of TWO new models of the popular iPad, and Kindle releasing a color version, this year’s Christmas gift season should be HOT for eReaders!  And, we as consumers, can expect some EXCELLENT deals!
