The Pixelar e-reader contains a relatively sufficient 512MB of internal flash memory that can hold up to 1,000 books. It emplos a 6 inch 600 x 800 resolution e-Ink technology display (similar to Kindles). The reader also has an SD card that effectively expands the memory to up to 4 GB. The Pixelar e-Reader is also quite svelte, measuring just 184 x 120 x 9.9mm and only ways 22 grams including the battery.

The Pixelar rates that the battery life will get up to 8,000 page turns. Of course, battery life will be much faster if you use the built in MP3 function. What I love about Pixelar’s reader is the sheer amount of formats that it can read. To whit, it can read the following: PDF, MOBI, DOC, WOLF, MP3, HTML, TXT, CHM, FB2, Djvu, PNG, TIF, GIF, BMP, JPG, PPT, EPUB, LIT and PRC.

The screen technology means that you won’t have any problems reading in direct sunlight. There’s also a multi language menue and three levels of font adjustments. You can even add bookmarks to a page or book. Priced at £219 with a free 1GB SD Card, travel charger, USB leade, earphons and a leather pouch.
