Bebook: the new e-book reader on the block

New age book worms latest bit of kit gets an airing

A sturdy yet slick bit of intellectual chunk, the new BeBook is for your literature consumption.

With 521MB of memory it can hold 1000 books and comes with 150 already installed to keep you reading for the next 20 years. Non-stop.

Not only equipped with fiction to keep you entertained, the BeBook allows you access to hundreds of thousands of newsfeeds, gratis.

These features coupled with a battery life that allows you to read Peter Rabbit 100 times over (OK, 7 000 page turns after 4 hours charge) is what makes this little lump of tech make you feel like you have a wealth of knowledge, literally, in the palm of your hand.

If you're a bit hard of seeing, or if you just like ma-hoo-ssive letters, the text size is adjustable - so no worries if you've forgotten your specs.

It's cheaper than the newly launched Sony e-book reader and the Amazon Kindle and has a catalogue of 80'000 books ready for your spongy grey matter to absorb. The average e-book will set you back £3, and this little brainbox can read 25 file formats.

A plain leather case epitomises simple scholarly chic and a 6 inch reflective screen brings you from being 20th century book worm to 21st century literary millipede. Available now and all this for £229. Sorry librarians, your jobs may in fact now be redundant.

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to say the BeBook is fantastic and well worth the money. I’ve had no trouble with their customer service and as has been mentioned the team from Endless Ideas seem really happy and eager to implement ideas to make it even better.

If you want a 25 Euro discount, feel free to enter my email address in the coupon field of the order screen. This helps me too so it's a win-win for both of us so pretty please use it! :-)
