The iRiver Story HD eReader

The keyboard has buttons oblong plastic amber, which is a strange design choice. You also get access to a dedicated home button, a Back button, an enter key, and a radio button. The keys look a little closer together, but at least they touch a lot of people will love.

The screen is a 6-inch high-resolution electronic ink, with 16 levels of gray and a resolution of 1014 x 768. It's better than the Kindle, the Nook, and Kobo, and the only remarkable feature of this design.

Other than the display, according to the note on the iRiver Story HD is its integration with Google library. Users will be able to buy books from Google and easily synchronize with their smartphones, tablets and computers. There are over 3 million books in the library of Google, most of which are free to download.

Ipods

My wife and I have an iPod each, I am ashamed to say. AFAIK it is the only way one can have an MP3 player with a capacity greater than 32GB. As soon as a large capacity MP3 player comes along that is not made by Apple, we will buy it immediately. We have been waiting for years and we are still waiting. I reckon Apple have some kind of monopoly on large capacity MP3 players. They must do, right? Why else does no-one else produce one?
We have the black iPod classic 160GB version. Brenda's is the older model, the one where it is possible to disable the European cap, and sadly mine is more recent where, for the moment, the cap cannot be disabled (keep working on it, guys!).
But it's not the European cap that causes the most irritation. It's the fact that proprietary software is needed to actually use it. We are Windoze-free in our house so this means the iPod comes with a problem: how does one put music on it? I have been using gtkpod (thanks, guys, what a great utility!
