BeBook 2
BeBook have sent me exclusive pictures of the new "BeBook 2". The new device seems to be a significant improvement over the first BeBook.
For those of you who were holding off from buying ebook readers, afraid to buy first generation devices, perhaps now is the time. I haven't managed to get my hands on the BeBook 2 yet, but the pictures certainly look promising. I'll be trying to get myself one of these new BeBooks as soon as I can, and I'll be updating my blog as soon as I do - but until then, I have photos and a feature list to whet your appetite.
- Wireless connectivity through one ore more platforms or protocols. (3G and/or WIFI)
- Touchscreen navigation
- Buy your books anywhere, anytime.
- Wireless RSS support

The Original BeBook
It seems that BeBook haven't forgotten the original BeBook, and they are releasing wireless support. Great news! I can't wait to be able to update my RSS feeds without plugging in!
Be sure to check out my review of the first bebook - this article also contains details on how to get a discount.

It seems that this could be what I have been waiting for.
In my search for an ebook reader, I finally decided for the BeBook, I just wanted to wait until I saved enough money – when they announced BeBook 2.
I don’t know if I really need the wireless connectivity, but even the touchscreen alone seems interesting enough to me. Also I guess they will use some newer cpus so it should be a little bit faster as the first one (and I am not saying that the first one was slow) As long as the BeBook 2 is not that much more expensive then the first one, I will get it.

Been wanting to buy one for quite sometime. I guess the search might end here. I hope to buy the BeBook 2 if it costs around $300. But if it costs more, i would go for the older version with its prices slashed down even further.
I hope the PDF view is fair enough, coz that’s what i’ll be reading mostly. I’ve no doubts about Mobi format, for that’s the best i’ve seen around.

I too am ready to buy a bebook2 when it comes out, but I would like to know just when that might be.

I want the newer model. When will it be available?
May 27th, 2009 - 20:47
Unfortunatly I don’t think there is a release date yet. I’m pretty sure I’ll get hold of a unit and do a review (perhaps even another video) when it’s out, so feel free to check back here!

It’s launched, not not available for sale. I’m not sure I understand the difference actually, but that’s how it is
As soon as the bebook 2 is out, I’ll be doing another video review probably!
If I can get any info on when it’s released, I’ll post it on here too

Well, Endless Idea better hurry up. Back when the Bebook 1 was released, there weren’t too many ebook readers. But now, more and more new ebook readers are released. So competition becomes bigger and bigger.
On the other side: don’t release a half finished, bug-filled device ….
