The award-winning Alex eReader promises a new era of richer digital publications, according to Dr. Priscilla Lu, CEO of Spring Design. The dual-screen, Android-based Alex eReader is making headlines as Spring Design promises new opportunities for authors and publishers with “Link Editions”: books that already have links to multimedia resources built into them. Spring Design showed the Alex eReader to reporters from around the world and announced relationships with Borders and Google at the Lunch at Piero’s innovator and media event January 7 and 8 during CES 2010.
You’re hiking on a remote trail, touring pyramids in Egypt, you’re at a baseball game, or on the train on your daily commute. Wherever you are, whenever the craving for information hits you, just whip out the WikiReader, a small handheld device that holds 3.1 million Wikipedia articles complete with hyperlinks. Because it works offline and has been tweaked to perfection, this handheld encyclopedia is much faster than a browser-based search. And for those times that you want to settle a bar bet, be a genius for your kids, or delve in to the history of the pyramids without lugging heavy travel guides, the WikiReader is perfect. Watch this demo at Lunch at Piero’s, the innovator and media event during CES 2010 where Openmoko announced a Spanish language version of the WikiReader coming for download at http://thewikireader.com in February 2010.
Immersion Digital showed GLO, a digital Bible that provides the experience of the Bible in multimedia. Using lenses that guide the user to timelines, atlases, topics, and rich media, GLO presents a wealth of information and multimedia – the results of more than 13 years of development for an interactive Bible like you’ve never seen before. Nelson Saba demonstrates this remarkable resource at media and innovator event, Lunch at Piero’s during CES 2010. Available at globible.com and in Christian bookstores.
