Alex Android eReader

Spring Design have confirmed that their Android based dual screen eReader, known as the Spring Design Alex is now available to order in the US via their own web portal.

The Spring Design Alex comes with a 3.5” touchscreen LCD paired with a 6” EPD display – the former allowing for web browsing, the latter for displaying eBook pages (though both can be used simultaneously with the Alex’s ‘Touch and Extend’ facility – comes with 2Gb of integrated storage capacity whilst, in terms of connectivity, you can factor in both WiFi and a USB port. There’s no 3G connectivity on offer with this particular model but Spring Design have confirmed that a 3G touting Alex will be made available later this year.

Alex connects to Google’s bookstore with over one million titles, and other bookstores that support Adobe DRM. Spring has engaged multiple international partners to jointly deliver multi-language versions of Alex for countries speaking Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Korean and Hebrew. Alex is the first eReader to offer international versions of the product through its local country partners connecting to local bookstores.

The Spring Design Alex is available to order now in the US, in either white or charcoal colour and retailed at $400.
