With the recent tablet boom, e-readers have fallen into a bit of blind area. Generally they aren’t as capable as tablet devices of a similar size and don’t offer the same bang for your buck. A few companies are moving towards fuller-featured e-reading devices, one such being PocketBook, a company that will bring a 7-inch color TFT display reader running on Android 2.0.
The PocketBook IQ will be available in various case colors, but not much else is known. It has been a while since we have seen Android 2.0 on a device, and while it isn’t the latest or greatest it should provide a deeper experience than a standard e-reader.

If it’s made as an e-book reader…..shouldn’t it be eInk?
@JC good question.
@JC – no. eInk is just one possible implementation choice for e-book readers. You might think it’s the best choice, others might not…
An LCD ereader is just another name for “seriously underpowered tablet”.
E-ink, or I’m not interested.
I read a study that all book reading, whether done on a computer, on a Kindle (with that e-ink display), or on a cell phone is about 80% slower than a book. Researchers don’t know why, but every form of electronic reading has been slower by about the same speed.
