Havon Color e-Reader

The Chinese company Havon will use color e-ink displays for its e-reader. This is hailed as an important development in e-readers, because it will bring the benefits of e-ink LCD screens do not. LCDs also consume much battery power is an important factor, especially during travel where the toll could be a problem. In addition, e-ink screens are easier on the eyes and are not affected by the glare of sunlight.

On the other hand, the Havon 9.68-inch color e-reader also a minimal drawback because it uses e-ink technology, therefore it has different colors crisp and clear compared to LCDs. E-ink displays also couldn’t handle video and animation. But with wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi and 3G as well as through the touch screen technology, the color difference could not be easily distinguished.

From now on, Havon is silent on other specifications, such as internal storage as well as the types of files it could support. However, since it aims to be as competitive as possible with the current market leaders in e-reader, it will certainly offer something better than the competition.

Finally, we must still wait some time before we can lay hands on him because Havon plans to make it commercially available first in China in March 2011. The Havon e-reader will certainly be worth the wait as it will be offered for only $440 considering an iPad costs China about $600. It's something to watch out for!
