Android ebook coming soon.

If you had doubts that Android was taking over the world, this should help to convince you otherwise as Google’s OS (which was only released one year ago) is now spreading to the ebook reader market, as Netronix is planning to release eBook readers sporting Android.

Netronix, a Taiwan company better known for their network equipment, have recently ventured into eBook readers. Their current incarnation is selling well, with them reporting to DigiTimes that they are moving 60,000 a month. Netronix is now working with Texas Instruments to work on an eBook reader that will run Android.

The Android reader will be able to interact with other Android devices. Why you would want to do this, is still unexplained by Netronix. Netronix promised that its eBook readers would also feature 3G/3.5G connectivity, possibly rivaling the Amazon WhisperNet connectivity found on the Amazon Kindle. Netronix told the DigiTimes that it wants their next eBook readers to also be ‘personal communication

devices’.  Nexus
