eBook Description: About the size of a paperback book, weighing about a pound, and with its backlit screen, the eBookwise-1150 gives new meaning to the term "light reading." The device also includes powerful electronic features that offer you a reading experience beyond that of a traditional book. You can turn pages and change the text orientation just by pushing a button. By simply touching the screen, you can enlarge the text size, bookmark pages, highlight passages, make notes, search for key words, look up definitions from preloaded dictionaries and hyperlink to other parts of the book. Note: the eBookwise-1150 is compatible and equivalent to the popular GEB-1150 device formerly made by Gemstar. (Price does not include shipping. Available in U.S. and Canada only.)
