Good, Better, Best Ebook Reader? Not Kindle or iPad.

Saw this blog post http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2012/05/22/new-icarus-excel-9-7-e-ink-ebook-reader-with-wacom-touchscreen/ about new ICARUS eXceL Ebook Reader, Icarus website http://www.icarusreader.com/excel.

It is going on my wish list, I like my Kindle, but want larger screen, and easier page turns, plus the stylus for notes, highlighting, etc.

Edited to add this about Memory:
  • 4GB internal memory (flash)
  • Memory can be expanded up to 32Gb via optional SD cards

For those not familiar with SD cards see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital since they say 32 GB pretty sure they mean SDXC even though they said SD.

Most newer electronics use SDXC, same physical size card, just higher memory capacity than older
SD style.

Found Review with Youtube.  Link to review http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/icarus-excel.html, youtube below.

Interesting Ebook Tidbit

A comment from http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/reviews/2011/11/kindle-fire-vs-nook-tablet-which-one-should-you-buy.ars?comments=1#comment-22325811

I found my Nook Tablet's web browser can play Amazon Prime video just fine. Add in the fact that you don't even need to do anything special to side-load the Amazon App Store, it seems to be the more inclusive 7" tablet. The Kindle Android reader installs just fine...

(Note: I've found installing applications from the Amazon App Store on the Nooks require a microSDHC card to be installed.)
