Spotted over at the always excellent Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories this lightweight alternative to the new Amazon kindle is made entirely out of renewable resources and consumes no electricity! Ideal for long boring camping trips in the countryside, once you’re done reading it that is…

I’ve got to say right from the start that I am very impressed on first glance. Finally an e-reader that appears to have everything we’ve been asking for! Not only does it have a large (9.7 inch) portrait/landscape auto-rotating screen but it also has, and this is the best bit,  native PDF support so you can stick your own ebooks on it! No early tests yet on the length of the “long” battery life so that might be a problem if you like reading in the dark but they claim you can “Read for days without recharging” so that sounds promising. Oh I also like the larger 4GB storage (twice the size of the smaller model) but would really have to work pretty hard to fill it all.

Once the price comes down from it’s current $489 level I really will be running to get one, probably more so than a netbook of my very own.
