					Alternative e-reader<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/rg0f/iriver-story-comes-to-uk-0.jpg" alt="iRiver Story comes to the UK" />				</p>
				<p><p>iRiver has dropped us word that it's bringing its "Story" e-book reader to the UK. The South Korean manufacturer, famous for its MP3 players, says that the Story is "stepping up to challenge Sony's version and Amazon's new Kindle".</p>
<p>The reader has an e-ink display like many others, and can get 7000 page turns from one battery charge. It works with epub, pdf and txt formats, and also displays office files like doc, ppt and xls, and image formats like jpeg, bmp and gif - though images will only display in greyscale.</p>
<p>Interestingly the Story has a full QWERTY keyboard, with which the user can interact with an on-board diary and scheduler. It has a voice recorder and headphone jack, too, and a built-in speaker, which can play music or an audiobook, and continue playback while reading other things on the screen.</p>
<p>The device has 2GB of on-board flash memory, along with an SD card slot. That'll fit around 1500 ebooks, iRiver reckons. There's optional Wi-Fi, and it connects via USB 2.0 to your computer for loading content. It comes in matte white design only, and costs ?230. It's <a href="http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shop/Accessories.7/iRiver.22/iRiver.4/IRIVEREBOOK/iRiver_Story_2GB_eBook_Reader.4011.html" target="_blank">available now</a>.</p></p>

					New features come to old and new alike<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images1.pocket-lint.com/images/rbx0/amazon-kindle-better-battery-pdf-0.jpg" alt="Amazon Kindle gets better battery and pdf support" />				</p>
				<p><p><a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/amazon">Amazon</a>?has bumped the battery life and added native PDF support for its 6-inch?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/amazon+kindle">Kindle</a>?ebook reader on Tuesday via a firmware update following a 6 month firmware improvement and testing program.</p>
<p>The news means that the Kindle now has battery life of up to 7 days with wireless turned on, compared to 4 days. According to the company, battery life with wireless turned off can be up to 2 weeks.</p>
<p>Amazon has also announced that the 6-inch Kindle now has a built-in native PDF reader that enables Kindle customers to read their own documents, something other <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ebooks">ebook readers</a> have been able to do from the start.</p>
<p>To read their personal or professional documents, Kindle customers will have to email PDFs to their Kindle email address or move them over using a USB connection.</p>
<p>Customers that prefer to have their PDF documents converted to the Kindle format simply type "Convert" in the subject of the e-mail when sending documents to their &ldquo;@kindle.com&rdquo; address.</p>
<p>The firmware update, which will come as standard to all new Kindles will be sent out automatically via Whispernet wireless to models already in use.</p>
<p>However not all will get the Native PDF support, says Amazon.</p>
<p>"It will also be available for some earlier versions of Kindle via an automatic Whispernet wireless firmware update", the company said in a statement.</p></p>

					How about an IOU?<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images1.pocket-lint.com/images/r8X8/barnes-and-noble-nook-pre-order-0.jpg" alt="Barnes &amp; Noble Nook sold out" />				</p>
				<p><p>Ebook fans hoping to get one for Christmas in the US are seeing their options dwindle by the day as Barnes & Noble announced that it has sold out of the?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/barnes+and+noble+nook">Nook</a>, which hits shops at the end of the month.</p>
<p>"The hottest gift of the season may be sold out, but with our elegant nook holiday certificate you can still let loved ones know it&rsquo;s coming", said the company to prospective customers looking to pre-order the dual screen ebook on their <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/offers/index.asp?PID=32217&cds2Pid=30195" target="_self">website</a>.</p>
<p>The news comes as Sony announced earlier in the week that its 7-inch 3G sporting <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/29666/sony-reader-daily-edition-pre-order" target="_self">Sony eReader Daily Edition</a> wouldn't ship until 18 December, or possibly after.</p>
<p>Barnes & Noble says customers ordering a Nook will receive their devices the week starting 4 Jan.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Wireless-Reading-Display-Generation/dp/B0015T963C" target="_self">Amazon</a>, having sorted out stock issues it experienced last year, is saying it has plenty of stock.</p>
<p>However with more ebook readers confirmed for January at <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ces2010" target="_self">CES 2010</a> and <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/qualcomm" target="_self">Qualcomm</a> showing off a colour ereader, out sometime in 2010, it might be the reason you need to get them something else in the meantime.?</p></p>

					$399 and before Christmas if all goes to plan<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/r6ca/sony-reader-daily-edition-pre-order-0.jpg" alt="Sony Reader Daily Edition available for pre-order" />				</p>
				<p><p><a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/sony">Sony</a>?has put the?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com//news/26576/sony-daily-edition-ebook-reader">Sony Reader Daily Edition</a>?up for pre-order in the US on its SonyStyle website, hoping to maximise on the current appetite for digital readers (<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ebooks">ebooks</a>) in the run up to Christmas.</p>
<p>Costing $399.99 and available on or around the 18 December, the Sony Reader Daily Edition, as it is known, will offer a 7-inch screen, come with 3G connectivity for downloading books and take the top of the pile mantle above the Pocket and Touch Editions from Sony.</p>
<p>However some are worried that the late December date means many could miss out on Christmas deliveries if the postal service doesn't deliver in time for the 25th.</p>
<p>"Leaving it to the 18th is cutting it terribly fine", one expert we talked to commented.</p>
<p>The ebook market, which has seen a price reduction from Amazon and the Barnes & Noble Nook launch imminent, is current booming as book sellers try to convince bookworms that they need to go digital.</p>
<p>However, with the promise of more ebook readers at?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com//news/29628/ces-2010-gadgets-to-expect">CES 2010</a>?and Qualcomm this week showing a colour screen ebook reader, which is promised for next year, the consumer has plenty of choices ahead of them, something Sony hopes won't deter them from signing up to its Reader in the mean time.</p>

					Trends that are going to be hot topics<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images4.pocket-lint.com/images/r4y6/ces-2010-gadgets-to-expect-0.jpg" alt="CES 2010: What new gadgets will be announced?" />				</p>
				<p><p>The countdown to?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ces2010">CES 2010</a>, the biggest electronics trade show on the planet, has begun, but what can we expect from the show, and what should we start to get excited about? Here are six areas that are going to dominate the news come January.</p>
<p>Don't forget, Pocket-lint will be bringing you all the news, reviews, comment, photos and video as it happens in the run up to CES and live from Las Vegas for the duration of the show.</p>
<p>You can bookmark our CES coverage at <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ces2010">pocket-lint.com/CES2010</a></p>
<h3>Digital Living</h3>
<p>Technology has gone mainstream supposedly, so that means the halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center will be filled with technology launches that embrace all of us rather than just a select few. In real terms that means everything from gadgets for <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/dad">kids</a>, gadgets for mums and dads that look after kids, and gadgets for the silver surfer. Expect new toys for health, parenting and higher education.</p>
<h3>Apple</h3>
<p>Don't get too excited,?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/apple">Apple</a> isn't attending CES, regardless of how many rumours you hear, but that doesn't mean companies that work in the Apple eco-system aren't going to be in Vegas launching new gadgets. With a whole area dedicated to the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ipod">iPod</a>,?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/iphone">iPhone</a>?and Macs, expect a fair share of <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ipod+speakers" target="_self">iPod speakers</a>, cables to connect to something else in your life and the usual array of cases to protect it all.</p>
<h3>eBook readers</h3>
<p>If you're planning on getting an <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ebooks">ebook reader</a> for Christmas you might want to think again. The ebook market has exploded in the US with <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/amazon" target="_self">Amazon</a>,?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/barnes+and+noble">Barnes & Noble</a>?and?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/sony">Sony</a>?all fighting over each other to offer you the digital reader you supposedly need. <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28051/plastic-logic-que-ebook-reader" target="_self">Plastic Logic</a> has already confirmed that it will be launching a new ebook at CES and there is bound to be other manufacturers like?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/spring+design">Spring Design</a>?and <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/iRex" target="_self">iRex</a> offering new models.</p>
<h3>3D</h3>
<p>Riding on the wave of euphoria that Avatar will no doubt give the industry, consumer electronics manufacturers like?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/sony">Sony</a>, <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/toshiba">Toshiba</a>, <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/lg">LG</a>?and?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/samsung">Samsung</a>?will be likely to be pushing?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/3dtv">3D TV</a>?hard at CES 2010. <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ifa2009" target="_self">IFA 2009</a> already showed us the concepts, CES will show us the reality. Expect new televisions, announcements from the Blu-ray Disc Association, television makers, graphics card companies like Nvidia and movie companies all trying to get in on the action.</p>
<h3>Netbooks</h3>
<p>While most people have surely moved on from the popularity of netbooks, CES organisers CEA believe netbooks are going to still be big news at CES 2010. What that means is a barrage of computers that don't do much but let you surf the Web and write the odd document. Of course manufacturers will be trying to tell us otherwise with improved graphics courtesy of <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/nvidia" target="_self">Nvidia</a> and ATI. You should also probably expect a barrage of tablet devices with touchscreens allowing you to surf the Web around the home.</p>
<h3>Green</h3>
<p>With the economy making a comeback, manufacturers can once again turn their eyes to saving the planet. Although the idea of being green for green's sake is still very niche, generally manufacturers will be trying to tell you to ignore the thousands they are spending on lighting their booths and the sheer carbon emissions the show creates, by concentrating instead on how they've made advancements in the glass they use or the boxes your favourite gadgets go into. At least you can sleep at night knowing that we haven't had to chop down any trees to let you read this.</p>

					Company's first eBook reader gets SiPix electronic paper tech<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images4.pocket-lint.com/images/r46p/benq-k60-nreader-ebook-reader-0.jpg" alt="BenQ unveils K60 nReader " />				</p>
				<p><p>eBook readers have quickly become the latest thing that the computer industry is throwing everything it has at, as it's seen as the new saviour product by suffering technology companies. <br /><br />The latest to join the fray is BenQ which has launched the first of many devices to come in its nReader series of devices. The first model is simply called the K60 and at first it might not look like it has anything out of the ordinary on offer, but dig a little bit deeper and you'll soon realise that BenQ has decided to go down a slightly different route compared to its competitors.<br /><br />Let's start with a few specifications. The nReader K60 measures 175 x 122 x 11mm and it weighs in at a reasonably light 220 grams. It has a 6-inch touch screen electronic paper display that uses SiPix Microcup technology. The screen has a native resolution of 800 x 600 pixels with 167 dots per inch and it can display 16 grey scales. So far it's pretty much on par with the Amazon Kindle in terms of tech specs, but it lacks the keyboard of the Kindle and is, as such, slightly smaller and lighter.<br /><br />The nReader K60 features 2GB of built in memory (good for about 4000 books) and it has a microSD card slot that accepts memory cards up to 16GB in size. It also has a micro USB port and a full-size USB 2.0 port and a 3.5mm audio jack. <br /><br />It supports a wide range of file formats, most notably ePub, PDF, TXT and HTML files as an eBook reader, but it also displays JPEG, BMP, GIF and PNG images and it plays back MP3 audio files.<br /><br />Although the nReader K60 comes with built in 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, the secret sauce so to speak is actually the USB port at the top of the device. This allows for USB 3G dongles to be attached for internet access on the move. We're not sure this is a big plus point, but it should allow for a lower initial cost. BenQ was talking about the possibility of even bundling the nReader with a purchase of a 3G dongle or as a free upgrade deal for users that are willing to sign up for an additional contract period extension.<br /><br />BenQ claims up to 7500 pages per charge, although this doesn't include Wi-Fi or 3G usage. Initially the nReader will launch in Taiwan and China (no pricing revealed just yet) and BenQ is even planning its own eBook store for these markets. However, BenQ is looking for partners in Europe and has already been in talks with some of the larger European telco's to see if they'd be interested.</p>

<p>The awards, voted by a panel of leading gadget journalists from around the world, including the staff from the Pocket-lint team, will decide the real must-have gadgets of the year, rather than those simply deemed cool or anticipated, being the definitive guide for consumers looking to buy gadgets.</p>

					What gets your vote?<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/qZxT/pocket-lint-awards-2009-best-gadget-0.jpg" alt="Vodafone Pocket-lint Gadget Awards 2009 - gadgets" />				</p>
				<p><p>We're happy to admit that some tech just doesn't fit into any other category. That's what the Vodafone Pocket-lint Gadget Awards Best Gadget section is all about. In many ways these devices are gadgets in their purest sense. They're objects with a clever little function to help make our lives that bit easier. Well, either that or they're pure novelty.</p>
<p>It's a huge and diverse part of what we write about here at Pocket-lint, so make sure to shout out below which ones we've missed and which you think deserves a nomination for this most coveted of awards.<br /><br /></p>
<h3>Home & Kitchen</h3>
<p>Before newfangled mobile phones and when it was all fields round here, the original gadgets were kept mostly for the home, and it's here where we'll begin our tour. iRobot has continued to bring housework into the 21st century with the launch of the latest hoover droid, the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26624/irobot-roomba-500-series-vacuums">iRobot Roomba 500</a>. These bots are all very well when at the ground level but in Korea this year, civilisation has taken a great leap forward with the arrival of <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26930/korean-self-cleaning-toilet-seat">the self-cleaning toilet seat</a>. It's sadly not available outside the country, but any Korean nationals who own one, please do feel free to tell us what it's like.<br /><br />Another automaton to come to the rescue in 2009 has been the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/admin/http:/www.pocket-lint.com/news/26174/chefstack-commerical-pancake-cooker-gadget">ChefStack Pancake machine</a> that will churn out 200 fried batter slabs per hour and the lardiest family ever seen. The year has also seen the return of a 1960s favourite that is the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27614/john-lewis-new-swan-stm1000-teasmade">Swann Teasmade</a> - perfect for that jerk of nostalgia and timely morning cuppa. In the kitchen itself, we've the pleasure of a <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/22912/kalorik-double-barrel-wine-cooler">double barrelled wine cooler</a> to consider as well as a <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/22967/video-morphy-richards-futuristic-toaster">future toaster from Morphy Richards</a>. Who doesn't like their future crispy?<br /><br />Moving down to the hall we've finally got the benefit of the Dragon's Den success that is the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/25609/truecall-nuisance-call-blocker-launches">TrueCall nuissance blocker</a> to keep unwanted numbers from ringing in and the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27544/gadget4all-fire-extinguisher-landline-phone">fire extinguisher phone</a> for nothing more than pure giggles.</p>
<p>As we head upstairs, there's some decisions to be made on the bedside table with the excellent looking <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26949/gadget4all-novelty-roll-film-clock">roll of film clock</a>, the really well-crafted <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28034/hannspree-photo-alarm-clock-misco">HANNspree photo alarm</a> and the same kind of device built specially for <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26766/sony-launches-walkman-alarm-clock">Sony Ericsson lovers</a>. All that leaves us to do is to turn off the geek chic ESC and DEL lights. If the company did ALT too then it would definitely be time to shutdown. Time to tuck yourself into your <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27832/tauntaun-sleeping-bag-thinkgeek-lucasfilm">Tauntaun sleeping bag</a> and count electric sheep.<br /><br /></p>
<h3>Desktop</h3>
<p>The work and computer area is another favourite for gadgets and trinkets of all kinds. For just plain silliness - or if you happen to live in the swamps of the Deep South - then you'll probably be rooting for the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/25932/fly-goodbye-bug-vacuum-gun-gadget">Fly Goodbye vacuum gun</a>. For a more serious and rather ingenious windy solution, this time for your cooling needs, Mr Dyson has done it again with the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27887/how-dysons-air-multiplier-works">Dyson Air Multiplier</a> bladeless fan, providing you can afford one that is.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27294/cablox-cable-management-desks-offices">Cablox </a>will organise your total mess of leads that you try to ignore and <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/21845/cyber-clean-cleaning-robot-launches">Cyber Clean</a> goo is now helping to de-crumb the keyboards of messy eaters the world over. Combine that lot with the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26940/scratch-and-scroll-mousepad-debuts">Scratch and Scroll mouse matt</a> that eliminates the need for notepaper, along with the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/4285/livescribe-pulse-smartpen-pen-review">Livescribe pen</a> and <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/23681/chumby-internet-media-player-launches-uk">Chumby's arrival in the UK</a> and you've got yourself the perfect work area.<br /><br /></p>
<h3>USB</h3>
<p>There are so many millions of these trinkets brought out each year that they need a sub-section all of their own. We've done our best to whittle them down to the genuinely funny and marginally useful but let us know if we've cut any real corkers.<br /><br />Probably the most ingenious of the lot is the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27442/easybloom-usb-garden-gadget-website">Easy Bloom USB</a> soil measuring device as shown off at CES 2009. Sadly, it only supplies a database for the States but it's impressive nonetheless. The <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/25176/brando-usb-tube-delight-audio">USB Light Tube</a>, <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26603/brando-combination-lock-usb-drives">USB Combo Lock</a> and <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/23726/duracell-usb-charger-dc-car">Duracell in-car USB charger</a> all harbour secret ambitions to serve a useful purpose but, for some real high-end novelty tat, make sure to fill stockings with the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26626/usb-hand-grenade-flash-drive">Hand Grenade flash drive</a>, <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/23903/usbfever-novelty-skull-shaped-usb-hub">Skull USB hub</a> and the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/25462/calvin-klein-usb-storage-sunglasses">Calvin Klein USB sun glasses</a>. The most fun tech nonsense can get.</p>
<p>Perhaps the one redeeming gadget for this lot was the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26929/hoshino-launches-biodegradable-usb-drive">biodegradable Hoshiho USB memory stick</a> - just so long as it doesn't biodegrade too quickly.</p>
<p>?</p>
<h3>eBook readers</h3>
<p>Mercifully a moment of sanity comes in this category courtesy of the eBook readers. The big news of the year was that the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28031/amazon-kindle-available-order-uk">Amazon Kindle</a> is finally available outside the US. The bad news for Amazon is that there's already some well-established and thriving competition.<br /><br />The most serious rival at the high end has to be Sony at the moment and the release of both the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27423/sony-reader-touch-edition-red">Pocket and Touch Editions</a>, which proved that the company is a force to be reckoned with in this field. <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27402/irex-dr800sg-digital-ebook-reader">iRex </a>has got plenty to offer to the discerning consumer too and indeed both the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/25871/samsung-sne-50k-ebook-reader-launched">Samsung SNE 50K</a> and the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27428/bookeen-cybook-opus-ebook-reader">Cybook Opus</a> are both looking very impressive now that they've finally arrived. At the more affordable end, there's kind of re-badging which PC World would be proud of with the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/29275/iwoot-foxit-eslick-ebook-reader">Foxit eSlick</a> and <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/24113/cool-er-ipod-like-ebook-reading-heading-to-uk">COOL-ER</a> readers probably the pick of the new crop for the year. <br /><br />If all you want to read is Wikipedia - and it's all too easy to get lost in those pages from time to time - then there's the far cheaper <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27908/wikireader-gadgets-wikipedia-hand-gadget">Wikireader</a> to weigh up, but perhaps the most individual of all is the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/23718/blackwell-espresso-book-printing-machine">Blackwells Espresso book printer</a>, which comes at the problem from an entirely different angle - tailor made,? hard copy volumes hot off the press.<br /><br /></p>
<h3>Imaging</h3>
<p>For the full run down of all things camera, then check out the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/29254/pocket-lint-awards-2009-best-camera">Best Camera 2009</a> category but that won't include this lensless lot with plenty to offer.</p>
<p>Photoframes have proved as popular as ever. While the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/24961/kodak-easyshare-s730-digital-frame">Kodak Easyshare S730</a> is a fine example of a fairly standard take on the paradigm, the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/22027/agfaphoto-launches-af8070-photo-album">AGFA AF8070</a> adds the whole digital album. The <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/22059/film-2-sd-negative-scanner">Film 2 SD</a> negative scanner does what it says on the tin, taking the digitisation of older prints to that next level of convenience and the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/25753/hp-refeshers-photosmart-printer-series">HP Photosmart printer</a> is one of the finest we've seen in 2009 if you want to start making copies for the wall.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28210/rc-helicopter-camcorder-camera-rig">RC Photo Rig</a> is an insanely specialised waste of money while also being the best gadget money can buy - so long as you can actually fly the thing, or for some considerably lower tech shots you can use the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/25035/firebox-pets-eye-view-camera">Petcam from Firebox</a>, which will give you an insight as to what it is to be your dog. One of the biggest cheers, though, should be reserved for the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27763/eye-fi-memory-cards-uk-launch">Eye-Fi</a> wireless connected SD memory card which has finally made it to our shores. Well done.<br /><br /></p>
<h3>Watches</h3>
<p>2009 has been all about the watchphone with both <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/22294/lg-watch-phone-does-video">LG </a>and the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/23073/iwoot-swap-mobile-phones-watch">IWOOT sWap</a> getting in on the action. The <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26289/rim-launching-blackberry-headset-wristwatch">BlackBerry timepiece</a> has also been another welcome addition to the cult that is - even if it doesn't quite have that same level of functionality. If you don't need to use the thing as a mobile phone, then the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/23368/garmin-forerunner-310xt-waterproof-watch">Garmin Forerunner 310XT</a> is a fantastic device with, of course, GPS built in, but if it's all about looks then go no further than the modern classic in the suave shape of the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/22442/tissot-sea-touch-waterproof-touchscreen-watch">Tissot SEA Touch</a> or the wrist-candy that is the urbane <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/23016/timex-expedition-ws4-widescreen-watch">Timex Widescreen WS4</a>. <br /><br /></p>
<h3>Power solutions</h3>
<p>With more and more gadgets comes a greater fear of battery life and there's been a strong undercurrent in 2009 of novel ways of dealing with that very fact. One of the hits of CES 2009 was the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28196/powermat-products-due-30-october">Powermatt</a> magnetic induction charger, very recently brought out for sale, but there are also several other solutions also worthy of note. <br /><br />The <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27911/gear4-powerpad-wireless-iphone-charger">Gear4 PowerPad</a> does a similar trick but focuses solely on the iPhone, while both <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/25920/kodak-ks100-kp100-k630e-k630">Kodak </a>and <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/admin/http:/www.pocket-lint.com/news/24533/freeloader-pro-camcaddy-solar-charger">Freeloader </a>have continued to invest in the power of the sun to supply all our energy needs. But, if you can't do it differently, then just do it tidily with the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/25472/cutebitz-messless-designer-gadget-charger">Messless charger</a> also well worth a nomination shout. <br /><br /></p>
<h3>The rest</h3>
<p>There are some gadgets that don't even fit into a category within a category specialising in misfits. So, before the polling booths close and the judges come in, spare a thought for the likes of the impressive <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/4191/leyio-personal-sharing-device-review">Leyio </a>social sharing device, the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27460/vuzix-launches-wrap-230-280-920-widescreen">Vuzix Wrap</a> personal TV goggles, the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/20573/aerielle-i2i-stream-launches-uk">i2i Stream</a>, which made all our audio wireless at CES, the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/20564/msi-bk100-foldable-bluetooth-keyboard">MSI foldable Bluetooth keyboard</a>, the too good to be true <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/25390/why-cry-baby-analyser-thinkgeek">Why Cry baby analyser</a> and the incredibly niche <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/24638/metal-detector-sandals-hammacher-schlemmer">Metal Detector Sandles</a>. What a wonderfully diverse world we live in.</p>
<p>?</p>
<h3>What do you think?</h3>
<p>But these are just some of the fantastic choices our readers have had in 2009. What would you like to see held aloft as the winner of Pocket-lint Best Gadget 2009? What have we missed out?

					<img class="" src="http://images1.pocket-lint.com/images/qVgY/intel-reader-ebook-reader-visually-impaired-0.jpg" alt="VIDEO: Intel Reader for visually impaired revealed " />				</p>
				<p><p>Intel has unveiled an ebook reader with a difference, a device "designed to increase independence for people who have learning disabilities such as dyslexia, or have visual-impairment such as partial sightedness, blindness or for anyone who struggles with reading standard print".<br /><br />As well as reading digital books aloud, the Intel Reader offers OCR-like abilities, capturing text with its built-in camera and reading the words aloud at varying speeds, as well as playing MP3 files. <br /><br />Powered by the Intel Atom processor and boasting 2GB flash memory storage said to be good for 500,000 pages of text, it runs Linux and some third-party software. Battery life for reading aloud is said to be 4 hours. <br /><br />The Intel Reader is not cheap - it launches at $1499 in the States. The UK launch of the new device is scheduled for 17 November, so we will bring you more UK-relevant info then, meanwhile, hit play on the video above for a walkthrough.</p></p>

				<p><p>Demand for Barnes & Noble's dual screen <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28089/barnes-and-noble-nook-ebook" target="_blank">Nook</a> ebook reader has been so strong that the bookseller has been forced to announce a delay for pre-order deliveries. <br /><br />When launched in October, Barnes & Noble told those pre-ordering the $259 gadget they could expect delivery on 30 November, reports the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703808904574523994119321648.html" target="_blank">WSJ</a>. A second wave of pre-ordering customers have been told their device will ship for 7 December and now new customers are being quoted 11 December. <br /><br />"Demand for the product in our stores and online has surpassed our expectations", a Barnes & Noble spokesperson told the Journal. "We are working hard to meet demand for the holidays".<br /><br />The retailer has not however revealed any kind of pre-order statistics. The <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28091/barnes-and-noble-nook-gallery" target="_blank">Nook</a> goes head to head with Amazon's popular Kindle ebook reader of which no sales figures have ever been revealed.</p></p>

					<img class="" src="http://images2.pocket-lint.com/images/qKVc/spring-design-sues-barnes-noble-0.jpg" alt="Spring Design sues Barnes &amp; Noble over Nook ebook" />				</p>
				<p><p><a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/spring+design">Spring Design</a>, the maker of the?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com//news/28059/spring-design-alex-ebook-reader">Alex dual-screen ebook reader</a>?is suing Barnes & Noble over claims that the bookseller copied ideas and features in releasing its own ebook, the?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com//news/28091/barnes-and-noble-nook-gallery">Nook</a>.</p>
<p>"We showed the Alex e-book design to Barnes & Noble in good faith with the intention of working together to provide a superior dual screen e-book to the market", said Spring Design vice president of Sales and Marketing, Eric Kmiec in a statement.</p>
<p>According to the company who says they showed Barnes & Noble the Alex in spring 2009, "the lawsuit asserts Barnes & Noble misappropriated trade secrets and violated the parties' non-disclosure agreement when it copied Alex' features into its recently announced Nook e-book".</p>
<p>Both ebooks announced in the same week (20 October), use a colour touchscreen display powered by Android to navigate through menus, rather than the e-ink display, which is used solely for reading.?</p>
<p>The Barnes & Noble Nook is expected to hit the company's stores on 30 November with many stores already covered in merchandising materials and dedicated booths to lure customers to go "electronic".</p>
<p>Barnes & Noble was unavailable to comment at the time of writing. We will keep you posted.?</p>

					With flipper section to turn the page <br />
					<img class="" src="http://images4.pocket-lint.com/images/pXFp/bibliofile-ebook-reader-concept-design-0.jpg" alt="Bibliofile ebook reader concept design revealed " />				</p>
				<p><p>The ebook reader marketplace is becoming rapidly populated as manufacturers rush to produce a gadget that not everyone's got yet.</p>
<p>Some potential purchasers are said to be put off from making the leap from hardback to ebook due to the electronic version not offering such a tactile experience.</p>
<p>This new concept design aims to address such issues with a "flipper" section on the right edge that can be pushed up, or down, to virtually turn a page.</p>
<p>Other innovations within the design include the flip gesture generating power for the device, a neat idea for a power-saving solution.</p></p>

					Apple users won't be left out in the cold forever <br />

				<p><p>While PC-owning book worms wait for Amazon's release of its new <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28180/amazon-announces-kindle-for-pc" target="_blank">"Kindle for PC"</a> software, it seems Mac users have not been forgotten, confirming to the Fast Company magazine's blog that it will be offering a similar software solution for Macs. <br /><br />With the short but sweet "Yes, we are working on a Kindle app for Mac" statement, an Amazon spokesperson has revealed Mac users won't be left out in the cold - just as well considering Amazon boss Jeff Bezos' plans to make the Kindle "the iPod of reading".<br /><br />The Kindle for PC software is due next month as a free download for those with Windows-based PCs. It will mean Amazon customers without a Kindle device will be able to buy Kindle ebooks to read via their computers. <br /><br />The move will mean Kindle books will soon be able to be read on the Kindle and the larger Kindle DX, on the iPhone and iPod touch, on PCs and laptops and (hopefully) soon - on Macs too.</p></p>

					For those that "don't yet have a Kindle"<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images2.pocket-lint.com/images/pTZP/amazon-announces-kindle-for-pc-0.jpg" alt="Amazon announces Kindle for PC" />				</p>
				<p><p>Amazon.com has announced "Kindle for PC", describing the release as "a free application that lets readers around the world enjoy Kindle books on their personal computers".<br /><br />The US Kindle Store currently offers over 360,000 books, including new releases and most of the New York Times Bestsellers, which the company says are typically $9.99 or less and is apparently the only place to find some books in the digital format, Amazon is opening the store up to those who haven't bought into the Kindle system.<br /><br />This move means Kindle books can now be read on the Kindle and the larger Kindle DX, on the iPhone and iPod touch thanks to the Kindle iPhone app, and now on PCs and laptops.<br /><br />For those that want to read ebooks on both mobile devices and their PC, the Kindle for PC features Amazon&rsquo;s Whispersync technology that automatically saves and synchronises bookmarks and last page read across devices. <br /><br />"Kindle for PC is the perfect companion application for folks who own a Kindle or Kindle DX", said Ian Freed, vice president, Amazon Kindle.</p>
<p>"Kindle for PC is also a great way for people around the world to read the most popular books of today even if they don't yet have a Kindle".<br /><br />Amazon says Kindle for PC will be available to customers around the world as a free download next month.<br /><br /></p></p>

					$20 off days after official availability<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images2.pocket-lint.com/images/pTCR/amazon-kindle-international-price-cut-0.jpg" alt="Amazon Kindle International edition gets price cut" />				</p>
				<p><p>Amazon has quietly dropped the price of the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27709/amazon-kindle-comes-to-uk" target="_self">Kindle international edition</a> by $20 to bring it in line with the original Kindle price in the US.</p>
<p>UK customers wanting to sign up for the ebook reader that was announced just weeks ago, and only?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com//news/28031/amazon-kindle-available-order-uk">just available this week</a>, will now only have to pay $259 instead of the launch price of $279.</p>
<p>Amazon hasn't stated a reason for the drop in price, however the price drop could be down to the ebook market heating up in the run up to Christmas.</p>
<p>On Tuesday Barnes & Noble, Amazon's biggest competitor in the book selling market, launched the N<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/barnes+and+noble+nook" target="_self">ook</a>, an ebook reader with a colour android-powered touch screen for navigation.</p>
<p>Amazon has confirmed that users who paid $279 will get a $20 refund.</p>
<p>"Due to strong customer demand for the new Kindle with U.S. &?International Wireless, we are consolidating our family of 6-inch?Kindles. As part of this consolidation, we are lowering the price of?our Kindle with US & International wireless down to $259. The new?Kindle with 3G wireless that works in the U.S. and globally in over?100 countries is in-stock and available for immediate shipment.?Customers who purchased the device at $279 will be automatically?refunded the $20 difference in price. They don't need to do anything?to receive this refund, it's automatic and they will receive an email?from us confirming the refund". Amazon told Pocket-lint when asked.</p>
<p>The news comes as Amazon launches a free application that lets readers around the world enjoy Kindle books on their personal computers called Kindle for PC.</p>

					Hands on with the new two screen ebook<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/pQ4R/barnes-and-noble-nook-gallery-0.jpg" alt="PHOTOS: Barnes and Noble Nook" />				</p>
				<p><p>Barnes and Noble today <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28089/barnes-and-noble-nook-ebook" target="_self">confirmed rumours</a> of its ebook, and with it took the fledgling device market into overdrive, Pocket-lint was on hand to grab a play and some pictures.</p>
<p>Up until now <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ebooks" target="_self">ebooks</a> have featured just the one screen, this Nook takes this to the next level by adding a second 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display the size of the iPhone for navigating, making the Amazon Kindle and the Sony readers look decidedly dated.?</p>
<p>Specs include Wi-Fi, 3G connectivity via AT&T and a micro SD card slot so you can expand the storage capabilities over the 2GB of on-board memory. The screen will be Android powered.</p>
<p>Priced at $259 and available in the next couple of weeks (end of November), the nook should shake the market up considerably.?</p>
<p>We will add more photos when we get them.</p></p>

					Website announces details early<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images1.pocket-lint.com/images/pQ06/barnes-and-noble-nook-ebook-0.jpg" alt="Barnes &amp; Noble Nook released" />				</p>
				<p><p>Barnes and Noble has let slip details of its much rumoured <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ebooks" target="_self">ebook</a> launch on its own website hours before an official announcement.</p>
<p>In what seems like a slip up, the book seller has detailed the features of the new product including images, and price ($259).</p>
<p>Called the Nook, the ebook will sport two screens, one full-colour 3.5-inch touchscreen for navigating and one E Ink display for reading.</p>
<p>"Just use your finger to swipe through titles and tap open your next read", says the blurb on the site.</p>
<p>It will also come with a Wi-Fi and 3G connection via AT&T's wireless network (the same as the Amazon Kindle) and sport 2GB of memory as well as a micro SD card slot for expanding it further.</p>
<p>Tech specs include dimensions of 7.7 x 4.9 x 0.5-inches with a weight of 317 grams. It will feature a rechargeable replaceable battery and come with a micro USB socket. The screen will be Android powered.</p>
<p>In an attempt to appeal to sharers, you'll also be able to share books for 14 days with other devices like ebook readers, the iPhone, iPod touch, BlackBerry and Mac and PC users via the eReader software. When books are lent out, users won't be able to access the books.</p>
<p>Users will also be able to "sideload" PDF documents unlike the Kindle and offer support for ePUB documents.</p>
<p>Barnes & Noble has said that it is looking at an international roll out, however failed to mention a time frame when Pocket-lint asked.</p>
<p>The company has also confirmed that it is working on a Windows Mobile app as well as hinting at an Android app in the future.</p>

					New ebook expected to be launched Today<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/pPAM/barnes-and-noble-nook-ebook-0.jpg" alt="Barnes &amp; Noble Nook leaked. Gadgets, ebooks, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Amazon Kindle, Spring Design, Plastic Logic, eBook readers, Barnes and Noble Nook 0" />				</p>
				<p><p><a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/barnes+and+noble" target="_self">Barnes & Noble</a> is expected to launch a new <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ebook" target="_self">ebook</a>, called the Nook, today in New York according to sources who've seen a yet unannounced advert.</p>
<p>According to both the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/20/technology/20reader.html?_r=1" target="_blank">New York Times</a> and the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703816204574483790552304348.html?ru=MKTW&mod=MKTW#articleTabs%3Darticle" target="_blank">Wall Street Journal</a>, the device will feature a colour touchscreen display and a separate e-ink powered screen for reading.</p>
<p>"It will cost $259, matching Amazon.com&rsquo;s most recent price cut for its latest edition of the Kindle," cites the NYT article.</p>
<p>The NYT is claiming the information has been garnered from an advert Barnes & Noble have placed in the Oct. 25 issue of The New York Times Book Review and comes after pictures of the device supposedly appeared last week.</p>
<p>It's been a busy week for ebook launches with Monday seeing an announcement from <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28051/plastic-logic-que-ebook-reader" target="_self">Plastic Logic</a>?for a new ebook that will be shown off at CES 2010,?and a from fairly unkown company Spring Design who's <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28059/spring-design-alex-ebook-reader" target="_self">Alex concept</a>, which will supposedly be coming to market later this year, also features two screens.?</p>
<p>Rumours first surfaces earlier last week, while other sources are suggesting a 22 October, the same day as <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/windows+7" target="_self">Windows 7</a>, launch date, making it perfect Christmas stocking fodder in time for the holidays.</p>
<p>Earlier in the year, Barnes & Noble announced the launch of an ebook store that offers over 500,000 ebooks as well as free Wi-Fi in its stores, presumably to encourage the use of the new devices.</p>
<p>Pocket-lint will be at the Barnes & Noble?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com//news/27900/barnes-and-noble-ebook-coming">event</a>?on Tuesday 20 October bringing you all the news as it happens.</p></p>

					Barnes & Noble-powered device creates "proReader" category for business-folk<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images1.pocket-lint.com/images/pNk2/plastic-logic-que-ebook-reader-0.jpg" alt="Plastic Logic announces &quot;Que&quot; ebook reader for January launch" />				</p>
				<p><p>Plastic Logic has announced a new ebook reader, the "Que", that's due to be launched at the CES show in January 2010.<br /><br />Describing the device as the first "proReader" designed for business professionals, the Que wants to "connect its users with their business and professional newspapers, books and periodicals... and supports the document formats business users need (including PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents)".<br /><br />Plastic Logic says the Que store will be powered by Barnes & Noble, the Amazon rival that's making a big play for the ebook and ebook reader market with both Plastic Logic and iRex team-ups revealed recently. <br /><br />Boasting what's said to be the largest touchscreen in the industry and with the hint of "powerful tools for interacting with and managing the content", the Que is seriously skinny at less than a third of an inch thick, lightweight, Wi-Fi and AT&T (in the US) 3G-enabled, and measures around 8.5 by 11-inches.<br /><br />Finally, the Que's display is made of shatterproof plastic and its battery "can last days, instead of hours", apparently. For all other spec, pricing and availability info we've got to hang on until 7 January when all will be revealed at the CES show - we will keep you posted.</p></p>

					Half a million titles to be available in the first half of 2010<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images2.pocket-lint.com/images/pKVF/google-editions-ebook-store-announced-0.jpg" alt="Google Editions ebook store announced " />				</p>
				<p><p>Google has revealed plans to launch its own online ebook store, due to open its virtual doors in the first half of 2010.<br /><br />Although the online giant is currently embroiled in legal wrangles over its Google Books book scanning project, it hasn't stopped it from announcing the new "Google Editions" scheme. <br /><br />The store will initially offer around half a million ebooks in formats suitable for any device with a web browser.<br /><br />While Google will host the ebooks and make them searchable, it's said consumers will be able to buy titles direct, or go through the likes of Amazon - a big player in the market thanks to its <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27709/amazon-kindle-comes-to-uk" target="_blank">Kindle</a> reader range, or <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26554/irex-barnes-noble-ebook-partnership" target="_blank">Barnes</a> & <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27900/barnes-and-noble-ebook-coming" target="_blank">Noble</a> which has ambitions to make it big.<br /><br />Google has ruled out making hardware to go along with the launch of the content store - "We're not focused on a dedicated e-reader or device of any kind", Google's director of strategic partnerships told <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSTRE59E28H20091015?feedType=nl&feedName=ustechnology" target="_blank">Reuters</a> at the Frankfurt Book Fair.</p></p>

					Caught on render if rumour is to be believed<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/pJ1K/barnes-and-nobile-ebook-pics-0.jpg" alt="Barnes &amp; Noble ebook pictures supposedly appear" />				</p>
				<p><p>Gizmodo is claiming to have exclusive pictures of the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27900/barnes-and-noble-ebook-coming" target="_self">Barnes and Noble ebook</a> expected to be announced on 20 October in New York.</p>
<p>Although details are sketchy and the images themselves are artist renders probably more at home on<a href="http://www.yankodesign.com/" target="_blank"> Yanko design</a>, nonetheless what ebook fans will find most interesting is the inclusion of two screens.</p>
<p>According to the mock-up, one screen will offer an e-ink display for reading, while the other will sport a colour touchscreen panel for control.</p>
<p>The rumour certainly ties in with <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27900/barnes-and-noble-ebook-coming" target="_self">previous comments</a> that a colour screen model was due in 2010. Although the bookseller has since confirmed that the comments by said individual weren't true, the inclusion of a colour screen for control not reading could still happen.</p>
<p>Pocket-lint will be at the NYC event on the 20 October.</p>
<p>We will keep you posted.</p></p>

					Major event 20 October<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images3.pocket-lint.com/images/pFH6/barnes-and-noble-ebook-coming-0.jpg" alt="Barnes and Noble to announce new e-Reader. Gadgets, ebooks, Barnes and Noble, eBook readers, iRex, Plastic Logic, Barnes and Noble Nook 0" />				</p>
				<p><p><a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/barnes+and+noble" target="_self">Barnes & Noble</a> will announced details of its own <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ebooks" target="_self">e-Reader</a> next week, the company has confirmed.</p>
<p>Invites are slowly making their way to journalists asking them to join them to a "major event in the company's history".</p>
<p>The Wall Street Journal has already reported that the company is working on its own e-Reader to rival products from <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/amazon" target="_self">Amazon</a> and <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/sony" target="_self">Sony</a>.</p>
<p>Barnes & Noble has already struck deals to serve as the bookstore for e-Readers made by others, including Plastic Logic.</p>
<p>The news comes following an announcement with <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/irex" target="_self">iRex</a> in September and the launch of its own online book store in July.</p>
<p>The online book store will bring some 700,000 titles to customers keen to read, will cost $9.99 per book and in the process leapfrog Amazon's ebook offerings, making it the world's biggest ebook retailer, said the company.</p>
<p>Looking to appeal to a wider audience, the company will offer software for the iPhone, BlackBerry handsets, PC and Mac as well as signing an exclusive deal with e-reader maker Plastic Logic.</p>
<p>At the time, the company said that it was working with <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/plastic+logic" target="_self">Plastic Logic</a> to create a new e-Reader device that would measure 8.5 x 11 inches and offer wireless connectivity when it becomes available in early 2010.</p>
<p>We will keep you posted.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Plastic Logic has announced the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/28051/plastic-logic-que-ebook-reader" target="_blank">Que</a> ebook reader to launch in partnership with Barnes & Noble.</p></p>

					Books will cost $13.99 compared to US price of $9.99<br />

				<p><p>Amazon has u-turned on its launch promise not to charge international <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27711/international-kindle-cost-pound217-import" target="_blank">Kindle</a> users more than it does US consumers, in a rip-off Britain move familiar to UK-based gadget fans who often suffer from inflated pricing.<br /><br />Despite Amazon stating that "there are no additional fees for international customers" when the Kindle was announced for the UK market, the Guardian has discovered that UK users will in fact be charged 40% more than those in the States. <br /><br />From the paper: "An Amazon.co.uk spokesman revealed that foreign customers would be paying $13.99 (?8.75) per book instead of the American price of $9.99 (?6.25). That amounts to a 40% premium for the same title".</p>
<p>Although UK users <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27744/kindle-uk-no-roaming-charges" target="_blank">won't be charged</a> the $1.99 roaming fee that Americans will have to pay for using the device abroad, it seems this is how the etailer will recuperate the costs of data charges from AT&T's global partners for the OTA downloads.</p>
<p>Whether UK consumers will be happy to stump up almost half as much again as Americans pay for a digital product is yet to be seen - it certainly never hurt iTunes. Have your say on the matter in the comments box below.</p></p>

					Plastic Logic device due spring 2010<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images2.pocket-lint.com/images/pAwW/barnes-noble-colour-ebook-reader-0.jpg" alt="Barnes and Noble to offer colour ebook reader" />				</p>
				<p><p>American bookseller Barnes & Noble has revealed it is to offer an ebook reader with a colour screen as early as spring next year. <br /><br />The revelation was made on video to <a title="JBruinSan" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/JBruinSan#p/u" target="_blank">JBruinSan</a> and concerns an unnamed Plastic Logic device. <br /><br />In the video, Barnes & Noble bod Daniel Joresson announces a dedicated ebook reader device with a colour screen the size of a paperback that will offer the? Barnes & Noble ebook store software. <br /><br />In addition, similar to the Kindle app, Barnes & Noble will also extend its ebook platforms to "cellphones" like the iPhone and BlackBerrys.<br /><br />No spec is revealed about the device, other than that colour screen but "new cool features" are promised. <br /><br />Barnes & Noble has also teamed up with <a title="iRex" href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26554/irex-barnes-noble-ebook-partnership" target="_blank">iRex</a> to offer an ebook reader with an 8.1-inch touchscreen with stylus navigation and 3G wireless connectivity due before the end of the year. <br /><br />Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal has run a recent report suggesting a Plastic Logic ereader is due from Barnes & Noble as early as next month, but this is not expected to be the colour model, although might run <a title="Android" href="http://gizmodo.com/5377516/rumor-barnes--nobles-ereader-will-run-android" target="_blank">Android</a>.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Plastic Logic has since <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/plastic-logic-deflates-dreams-denies-spring-2010-release-for-co/" target="_blank">stated</a> this is not true. It's "inaccurate and the individual was misinformed". Although "color is on Plastic Logic's roadmap, it is not on the map for the spring of 2010".</p></p>

					Not just taking the one ebook reader overseas<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images4.pocket-lint.com/images/pzY6/amazon-kindle-dx-uk-bound-0.jpg" alt="Amazon Kindle DX UK bound too" />				</p>
				<p><p>Amazon in the US and UK has confirmed that it plans to take its other Kindle, the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/review/4122/amazon-kindle-dx-ebook-review" target="_self">Kindle DX</a>, international next year as well.</p>
<p>In the US the comments come from Amazon.com spokesman <a href="http://www.techflash.com/seattle/2009/10/amazon_to_take_kindle_dx_international_too_sometime_next_year.html" target="_blank">Drew Herdener</a> who when asked simply said: "sometime next year".</p>
<p>Meanwhile in the UK Amazon.co.uk PR man Ben Howes has also confirmed the move to gadget site <a href="http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2009/10/07/amazon-kindle-dx-international-launch-next-year/" target="_blank">Electricpig</a>. Rather than the standard "no comment" the site was expecting, Howes said: "we expect to add a Kindle DX family member with international roaming sometime next year".</p>
<p>The Kindle DX, comes with a 9.7-inch electronic paper display, a new built-in PDF reader, auto-rotate capability, and 3.3GB storage for up to 3500 books, Amazon has upped the price tag for the new model by $100 to $379.?</p>
<p>Amazon has announced that it is launching the Amazon Kindle in the UK and around the world as we reported it would <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27565/amazon-kindle-uk-announcement-next-week">last week</a>.</p>
<p>"We have millions of customers in countries all over the world who read English-language books", said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com founder and CEO. "Kindle enables these customers to think of a book and download it wirelessly in less than 60 seconds".</p>
<p>Announced earlier in the week, the new 3G enabled Kindle International edition will sport a 6-inch screen, come in at just over a third of an inch thin (0.36 inches) and weigh just over 10 ounces according to Amazon. It will come with 2GB of memory allowing up to 1500 books to be stored on the internal drive.</p>
<p>Users will be able to access over 250,000 books to download over the air via the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/kindlestore">Kindle Store</a>, including UK newspapers such as The Times and The Telegraph.</p>
<p>Kindle with U.S. & International Wireless edition will cost $279 and will be available for shipment to customers in over 100 countries around the world on 19 October, although currently users will have to purchase the Kindle from the US store and?<a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27711/international-kindle-cost-217-import" target="_self">import the Kindle</a> into the UK.?</p>
<p>"In the future, we plan to introduce a UK-centric Kindle experience, enabling you to purchase Kindle and Kindle books in sterling from our Amazon.co.uk site", said Bezos in a letter to Amazon.co.uk customers published on the UK site.</p></p>

					No $1.99 download fee per book for UK<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images4.pocket-lint.com/images/pxRk/kindle-uk-no-roaming-charges-0.jpg" alt="Amazon: International Kindle owners won't have to pay roaming charges" />				</p>
				<p><p>Amazon has confirmed to Pocket-lint that International customers won't have to pay for roaming charges on the new <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27709/amazon-kindle-comes-to-uk" target="_self">Kindle International edition.</a></p>
<p>"No they won&rsquo;t", a spokesman for the company from the UK office told Pocket-lint after we asked if the company could confirm whether or not UK customers will have to pay the $1.99 download charge, before adding "Wireless delivery is included in the price of the book for international customers so there are no additional charges".</p>
<p>The confusion has arisen over how UK customers and those in other countries will be able to access books over the 3G connection Amazon is promising, as Amazon has confirmed that the Kindle will be roaming on the AT&T Global network.</p>
<p>However, UK users will still only be able to order the new Kindle via the US Amazon site and pay customs tax on the purchase.</p>
<p>At the moment the Kindle will be sold on an <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27711/international-kindle-cost-pound217-import" target="_self">import basis</a> to customers in the UK from Amazon.com. The price for the device is $279, and when import fees and shipping is added the total comes to $344.98, which works out at ?216.85 at today's rates.</p></p>

				<p><p>Following the news from Amazon that it is to offer an <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27709/amazon-kindle-comes-to-uk" target="_blank">"International Edition" </a>of the Amazon Kindle in 200 countries, Amazon's UK homepage is promoting the pre-order of the device, due to launch 19 October, with a "letter" from the founder of the etail site, Jeff Bezos.<br /><br />At the moment the Kindle will be sold on an import basis to customers in the UK from Amazon.com. The price for the device is $279, and when import fees and shipping is added the total comes to $344.98, which works out at ?216.85 at today's rates.</p>
<p>This compares favourably with Sony's rival <a title="Reader" href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/26578/sony-pocket-touch-readers-uk" target="_blank">Reader</a> offerings purely on a price basis. The latest Readers to hit the UK are priced at around ?250 for the comparable 6-inch version and ?190 for the budget 5-incher.</p>
<p>It seems at present content will also have to be bought in dollars. In Bezos' homepage letter, he reveals a "UK-centric Kindle experience" is planned for the future, "enabling you to purchase Kindle and Kindle books in sterling from our Amazon.co.uk site", but for now purchases will be in US currency.</p></p>

					International Edition launched<br />
					<img class="" src="http://images4.pocket-lint.com/images/pwjm/amazon-kindle-comes-to-uk-0.jpg" alt="Amazon Kindle comes to UK" />				</p>
				<p><p>Amazon has announced that it is launching the Amazon Kindle in the UK and around the world as we reported it would <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27565/amazon-kindle-uk-announcement-next-week" target="_self">last week</a>.</p>
<p>"We have millions of customers in countries all over the world who read English-language books", said Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com Founder and CEO. "Kindle enables these customers to think of a book and download it wirelessly in less than 60 seconds".</p>
<p>The new 3G enabled Kindle International edition will sport a 6-inch screen and come in at just over a third of an inch thin (0.36 inches) and weigh just over 10 ounces according to Amazon. It will come with 2GB of memory allowing up to 1500 books to be stored on the internal drive</p>

<p>"In the future, we plan to introduce a UK-centric Kindle experience, enabling you to purchase Kindle and Kindle books in sterling from our Amazon.co.uk site", said Bezos in a letter to Amazon.co.uk customers published on the UK site.</p>
<p>The decision to do so means that legally, UK customers will have to pay import tax on the Kindle as it is over the ?145 price threshold bringing the price after current exchange rates to around ?200.?</p>
<p>Additionally, it is not yet sure whether UK customers will have to pay a wireless roaming fee of $1.99 per book as stated in the small print on the product page on Amazon.com. It says:</p>
<p>"When travelling abroad, you can download books wirelessly from the Kindle Store or your Archived Items for a fee of $1.99".</p>
<p>Amazon has also announced that it will be dropping the price of its US only Kindle model to $259.</p>
<p>The news adds to the <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/ebooks" target="_self">growing ebook market</a>, that has seen plenty of activity in the last couple of weeks from company's such as iRex, Sony with it's Sony Reader and Cool-er.</p>
<p>We will keep you posted.</p></p>

				<p>Disney has made a big move into the ebook market in the States with the launch of Disney Digital Books.<br /><br />A new subscription-based website, families can access more than 500 interactive, electronic replicas of Disney books for $79.95 a year, but only on the PC.<br /><br />As far as the kids go, the books are aimed at children aged between 3 and 12, with books offered that are read aloud with music, as well as titles designed for kids to read alone.<br /><br />Disney is said to have "digital aspirations" to make the content downloadable to phones and other devices, such as ebook readers, in the future, but for now will focus on the site.</p>
