First Android E-Reader Has Dual Screens, Hyperlinks

October 21st, 2009

On Monday, Spring Design announced the first e-reader based on Google’s Android operating system. Dubbed Alex, the device features full browser capabilities and a patented dual-screen interaction technology called Duet Navigator.

Alex aims to bring content to life with multimedia links that let users interact with other online materials as they read, opening the door to a potential industry for secondary publications, audio and video that augment the original text.
