A review of the Interead Cool-ER e-book reader has been posted over at PC World.com 'The Cool-ER's display is based on the same E Ink technology that the Kindle 2, the Kindle DX, the Sony Reader Touch Edition, the Sony Reader Pocket Edition, and several other e-book readers use. Cool-ER has gone with the 8-greyscale version, operated by a 400MHz Samsung ARM processer. Page turns are on a par with those of most other current readers--sluggish, but not painfully so. According to Interead, the Cool-ER ships with 1GB of internal storage, of which 825MB is available for user content (my preproduction evaluation unit had a smaller drive, however). You can transfer content only via the USB cable, though Cooler Books CEO Neil Jones says that the company plans to offer a wireless model next year.'
