Pros

Excellent handwriting digitizer on EInk display, Combo of EInk ebook reader with Android slate.
Good contrast on e-ink screen. Can take notes on the e-ink screen. Google Android 1.6 OS offers color Web browsing, voice recording, and plenty of other useful apps.
Swinging combo of an E Ink display and LCD screen. Journal for notetaking is actually useful. Innovative hardware design.
A unique juxtaposition of e-book reader and tablet computer, providing an ideal platform for text notations and scholastic research.

Cons

Heavy and bulky for a portable, Navigation can be awkward
Ungainly design. Very heavy. Huge AC adapter. Plastic construction feels flimsy. Color touch screen is too dim, lacks contrast, and has narrow viewing angles. Slow boot-up. No 3G option for buying e-books over the air.
It weighs as much as five Amazon Kindles and many of its most desirable capabilities are buried in a muddled, fractured user interface.

Yes, the Edge is a combination e-reader and a Android tablet -- it just doesn't quite work well as either. For $499 there are just too many issues with it, including its chunky body, skimpy e-book selection, frustrating touchscreen, poor battery...

De Entourage eDGe is een opvallende combinatie van een 9,7 inch e-inkscherm en een Androidtablet met resistief touchscreen. Bij elkaar gehouden door een scharnier dat ook dienst doet als luidspreker.Je kunt deze vasthouden als een open boek, maar...
