The Times informs us of the forthcoming Asus Eee Book reader. It’s a dual panel color touch screen ebook with a hinged spine that also does double duty as a PC running Win7 with a virtual keyboard. With estimated selling price of $163 for the low-end model, it will be about 1/2 the price of the Kindle.
The lack of color is the number one complaint heard from eBook users, followed by slow response during page turns.
