CNET have published their review of the Alex eReader. 'The eReader comes with a 2GB of internal memory, and the microSD expansion slot supports cards up to 32GB. Earphones, an AC/USB power connector, and a padded cover ship with the unit. While it's missing the sort of built-in 3G cellular data connection found on the Nook and Kindle, the Alex does--on paper, at least--present quite a decent feature set. In assessing the Alex, it's worth taking some time to try to determine what it does better than some of its competitors. For starters, the color touch-screen is not only larger but sharper and seemingly more responsive than the Nook's color LCD nav bar. We also like the icon-based home screen, which is more intuitive and slightly easier to navigate than the Nook's interface.'
