Koobe’s Jin Yong Reader gets Mirasol, brings color to Taiwanese hearts
It’s no accident that Koobe’s Jin Yong Reader bears a striking resemblance to Kyobo’s eReader and Shanda’s Bambook which we toyed with back at CES. But while those e-readers brought Mirasol to their respective South Korean and Chinese markets, Koobe’s entrant will do the same for Taiwan. As for the trio’s striking resemblance, know that they’re all based on the same Qualcomm-heavy reference hardware, which pairs a 1GHz Snapdragon S2 with a 5.7-inch 1024 x 728 XGA Mirasol display. For those unaware, the addition of the latter part means the e-readers boast limited color on their non-backlit displays, all while retaining an E Ink-like low power draw. The trinity also feature a highly customized layer atop Gingerbread, and in Koobe’s case, come pre-loaded with 15 novels by, you guessed it, Jin Yong. Naturally, pricing and exact availability have yet to be announced, but we’re told they’ll be available “soon.” PR for those interested awaits after the break.
