New e-Reader from E FUN named Next2 seen at Federal Communications Commission
The E FUN NEXT2 e-Reader, an intriguing new entrant in the world of e-readers, is set to hit the market this month. This device, running on the Android operating system, offers a unique blend of features that sets it apart from traditional e-ink readers.
The NEXT2 boasts a 7.8-inch e-ink Carta screen, designed for comfortable reading, and a front light for reading in various lighting conditions. It supports multiple eBook formats, including ePub, PDF, MOBI, and more, and features Wi-Fi connectivity for downloading content.
One of the standout features of the NEXT2 is its access to the Google Play Store or alternative app stores (depending on firmware), allowing users to install third-party reading apps and other Android applications. Audio support is also included, with the option to listen to audiobooks or use text-to-speech via the headphone jack or Bluetooth.
However, it's important to note that Android-based e-ink readers like the NEXT2 may have slower performance compared to conventional tablet devices and may have limited battery life due to Android's background processes.
The NEXT2 comes with 16 GB of internal flash memory, expandable via a SD card slot that supports up to 16 GB of additional storage. E Fun claims a battery life of 6 hours for the NEXT2 on a single full charge.
The expected price of the NEXT2 is around $200, and it will be available via HSN. The device has already been submitted to the FCC, and Borders has been announced as the official content supplier for the NEXT2.
For those interested in technology and gadgets, the NEXT2 could be an exciting new addition to your collection. However, if you're seeking detailed recent user reviews and specific feature updates, it's recommended to check dedicated tech review sites, e-reader forums, or retailer review sections, as current search results do not provide this information.
The NEXT2 e-reader's battery life may be a concern due to its Android-based system, which could have slower performance and limited battery life compared to traditional e-ink readers, as it has processes running in the background. Data-and-cloud-computing is enabled on the NEXT2 via Wi-Fi connectivity, providing access to the Google Play Store for third-party apps, making it a versatile gadget in technology circles, especially for those intrigued by the convergence of e-readers and Android devices.
