Ready to battle the 'Kindle' is the new COOL-ER ebook reader from interead. Designed to mimic the ipod in look and functionality, the COOL-ER features a compact lightweight design that uses E InkR's proprietary display technology to produce a screen that replicates 'paper' electronically.

With its Lithium-Polymer battery, the COOL-ER will last roughly 8000 pages on one charge, just enough to get through one of Tom Clancy's over-stuffed novels. The COOL-ER comes in eight colors and has over 750,000 titles from which you can download. Priced at a competitive $249.00, it could very well hasten the demise of printed type.
