The BeBook

BeBook: your personal digital library
Wouldn’t it be great to have all your books at hand whether this is on holiday, at home or at the office? The BeBook e-reader can make that dream come true. Buy digital books (ebooks) and save them on this portable e-reader. From heavy literature to light magazines, everything fits on the BeBook. The 6 inch display doesn’t strain the eye and eliminates all reflections. So reading on the beach under a bright sun is no problem at all. Compare that to reading on your laptop when you’re outside, it’s practically impossible with an LCD screen.

7,000 pages on one battery
Don’t worry about finishing your only pocket during your holiday. The BeBook offers space to hundreds of books and ranks the titles for you. The BeBook also has 512 MB internal memory and you can add on memory with SD cards endlessly. You don’t need to worry about the battery life either. One battery will last for no less than 7,000 page turns!

E-ink makes reading comfortable
The strength of the BeBook is the paper-like display. The screen uses E-ink technology, this means that ambient light is used to clarify the text. E-ink doesn’t strain the eye like the backlit screen of a PDA or laptop. The BeBook screen is not backlit so you need a light in the dark, just like a real book.
The BeBook also plays mp3’s so it’s perfect if you want to enjoy your favorite music (while reading or not) or if you own audio books.
The BeBook e-reader reads the following formats: pdf, doc, txt, rtf, html, djvu, chm, fb2, wolf, mp3, png, tiff, gif, jpg, bmp, mobi.

Ebooks
Electronic books, the so-called ebook, exists for many years. Electronic books are used for almost 12 years now, but it never had the break-through like the mp3 for example. But the introduction of e-readers made ebooks a real hype. The BeBook is the solution to actually reading ebooks comfortably. It is the only device that lets you read ebooks like a real book. Thanks to the convenient size and E-ink technology.

How to put ebooks on the BeBook?
This is very easy. You can download ebooks from the internet with only a few clicks. You connect the BeBook to your PC with the USB cable, the BeBook will be recognized automatically as a USB device. It works just like a USB memory stick.
