Hands: a review of Samsung E60

Samsung introduced its first eBook reader in the UK.

Samsung E60 is a slightly modified version of the Samsung SNE-60K, which hit Korean stores at the beginning of this year, and goes on sale online at WHSmith for 199.99. It will hit the highstreet stores August 26.

Samsung recently visited the TechRadar HQ where we have a little fun with the E60 and E65 Samsung, which will soon come with built-in QWERTY keyboard.

Lets the show time.

Samsung E60 is pack 2 GB of internal memory enough to store 1,200 books expansion slot for SD cards, and 802.11b / g Wi-Fi. You will be able to use this Wi-Fi connection to download books and newspapers from the store WHSmith eBook, as well as content to share with other readers via eBook Samsung Emolink options.

So far, so utterly predictable time.

There is no 3G, as nowhere to be seen(we had no comment answer when asked whether the upcoming 3G version), while the other me- too features include functionality for application letter books, MP3 support for listening to music while reading, as well as support for all standard formats including ePub eBook, PDF, and TXT.

This will appeal to those people who already have a large collection of e-books in PDF format and do not want to buy.

Well, there also option to convert text to speech, which children will read a book for you if you sound parenting is not in the bag.

So what do we think about the E60? This is a plain little piece of kit, thats for sure. It works very much like the Samsung sliderphone including the screen slides up to reveal more controls underneath.

Its also very solid, with nice legible e-paper display(800600) and has a firm feel to it? C would have to give it a really good valve, if you want to break what is important, if youre going at this with you on the tube every day.

For this purpose, but also not too heavy, but it is still much larger and more cumbersome than the average paperback, thats for sure.

The interface is fairly easy to navigate? C is very similar in fact to those found on eBook readers with the likes of Sony and Amazon? C, which means that it also suffers from the same drawbacks

Ebook Readers use the power only after a party or navigate the menu system, so use any static power. Ideal for obvious reasons? C batteries will last for 7,000 page turns but the drawback is that like most eBook readers, but not very flexible.

hand turns are not immediate, short but not uncomfortable gap between demand and turn the pages are displayed side. We were told that the E60 is more flexible than the other eBook readers, but please vary the performance is comparable to other eBook readers have seen this year.

Samsung E65 soon with QWERTY keyboard

All of this brings us down, how much it costs. It is available in whsmith.co.uk from today to 199.99, which is a piece of many Dosh, if thats us.

This is the same price as the version of Wi-Fi iRiver Story , which is also available in WHSmith.

contrast new Amazon Kindle is set to cost only 109 for the version without Wi-Fi and 149 for the free version of 3G.

How Samsung, iRiver, and the rest expect anyone to shell out 200 pounds in the face of this, simply can not comprehend.

3G and wifi are two ways for the kindle to connect to the internet. You don’t need an internet connection to read ebooks and newspapers that are already on your device. You need a connection to download new content to your kindle, and also to use kindle’s browser to surf the internet. Let’s suppose for the moment that you don’t use Kindle’s browser very often.

If you don’t have wifi at home, you should probably get the 3G model, otherwise you’ll have to take your kindle to a wifi hotspot every time you want to download a book or newspaper.

If you do have wifi at home, you can probably survive without the 3G version. What about when you’re away from home? If you read ebooks while traveling, just load up your kindle with a few ebooks before leaving home. It becomes an issue if you subscribe to a daily periodical on your Kindle, like the New York Times; then, it’s handy to have 3G so that you continue to get your new issues every day. Yet, wifi hotspots are popping up everywhere – many of them free – so 3G connectivity is less and less a necessity for many of us. And, 3G coverage is not universal – I have two sets of relatives I see regularly who live in areas where 3G coverage is spotty; but in both of those towns, the hotels I stay in have free wifi, so I’m covered.

If you use Kindle’s web browser frequently, it may be worthwhile to get the 3G model. I don’t really like Kindle’s web browser, and my phone has a good web browser and display, so there’s almost never a need for me to use Kindle’s browser.

Most of this argues for getting the cheaper wifi version. But there are reasons to consider the 3G version. First, the extra money you pay for the 3G version buys you unlimited lifetime free 3G service; thinking of it this way, the price really doesn’t seem unreasonable. Second, the more you’re away from home, the more likely you’ll find yourself in a situation in which wifi isn’t available but 3G coverage is good; probably not TOO often, but once in a while. Then, it’s nice to have 3G, especially if you get a daily periodical or if you want to download a new ebook.

The cost is around $190, but Black Friday sales day is coming up and this should sell at a cheaper price.
