New wave of e-book readers

It would appear that a second wave of e-book readers is coming. The first wave languished, probably because of a lack of books to read on the LCD based devices, but we’re a couple of years further down the road, and the market might be bigger now.

The new devices are:

• e-paper based
• expensive
• slow
• high-resolution

More news at the usual suspects:

• Teleread (disclaimer: I also blog there)
• Mobileread
• Engadget

(I am not linking to particular stories, because there’s too much going on right now. This might be a good start though.)
