Endless Ideas BeBook Mini
The Endless Ideas BeBook Mini is a more compact and smaller e-book reader than its original predecessor the BeBook. It features a 5” e-ink display and can be used anywhere, including at home, while on vacation, or even in class. Unfortunately, the Mini lacks WiFi connectivity; this means that users must download content via a conventional USB interface instead. On the bright side, it supports nearly any form of content out there: pdf, mobi, lit, epub, html, rss, and even jpg. It’s also made for international use, as it supports over 15 different worldwide languages. Additional features include 512MB of internal memory, an SD memorycard slot, enough battle-power for 7,000 page-turns (per charge), and an easy-to-use menu system.
