iLiad Vs Kindle

Lately, kindle is witnessing a huge completion especially from iREX technologies iLiad book edition. Before,iLiad’s 2nd edition book was only available, but nowadays the Irex announced the new iLiad book edition being launched on may 9.This new book is almost similar to the 2nd edition with the same features but there are also few exceptions. First, the new iLiad book doesn’t contain an integrated Wi-Fi as the second edition one does. Second, the new iLiad book is cheaper than the 2nd edition older one. It was announced at 499$ whereas the Iliad second edition costs 699$. Despite the few differences, here comes an important common feature in both which is the “Wacom Digitizer”. Despite the daily use of the words "touch screen" on many sites to refer to the digitizer, it is indeed a standard Wacom it still does all the annotations and ink notes the older model does with only a change in the case from black to silver. IRex has also announced that the Iliad Book Edition will be carried by Border UK without mentioning the US. Furthermore, it has a bigger and better screen than that of the kindle or even the Sony reader. This shows us the iLiad Book is a great development and a serious competitor for the Amazon kindle device although it isn’t found yet in the US where kindle has its great reputation and the first rank in the new technologies.
