Interead's Cool-er E-book is set to hit the U.S. shores this June

If you are an avid reader and particularly a fan of books, then you know that nothing can replace the pleasant and addictive smell of a new book and the pleasure of holding it in your hand. However, this is the digital age and the new Cool-er E-book reader from British startup Interead is good alternative. This iPod clone as far as looks go is set to make its debut on June 1 in the U.S. It comes with a host of features that include compatibility with documents in EPUB, Adobe PDF and text. Also, it is slimmer and more light-weight than most readers available at the moment. The Coolerbooks.com site has a selection of 750,000 books. This reader will be available only at Interead’s Web sites in the beginning. The 6 inch screen is quite nice and it uses the E Ink technology. The best part is that a single charge will be enough for 8,000 page turns or so the company claims. Also, you will find an in-built MP3 player here along with a range of eight colors. It comes in pink too, so that's a bonus.

It includes space of 1GB making it quite convenient. One of the only problems so far is that it needs a USB link or SD card to download books. Overall, it is worth trying out if you don't mind books in the digital form, especially at a competitive price of $249.
