CES isn’t the only place where ebook readers were unveiled and paraded, China also wants to get on the bandwagon as well with its new Hanvon N618 ebook reader from the WISEreader line. Featuring a 6″ Vizplex e-paper display, you get Wi-Fi connectivity, a 3.5mm headphone jack, USB connectivity, 320MB of internal memory and an SD memory card slot. Expect the Hanvon to cater for TXT, HTXT, HTML, PDF, DOC, XLS ebooks, JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF and TIF file formats, with handwriting recognition as a boost since you can now make notes on your TXT ebooks. Considering it is going for half a grand in China, the Hanvon N618 sure is mighty expensive – and to think we haven’t even touched on its lack of an ebook store connection just yet.
