SoftBook
SoftBook is a discontinued electronic book e-reader. Released in 1998 by SoftBook Press, Inc. of Menlo Park, California, it was one of the first of its kind.〔(eBooks: 1998 – The first ebook readers ). Retrieved 5 February 2015.〕
==Overview==
The SoftBook, designed by IDEO and Lunar Design, featured a brown leather cover which flipped back to give the device a more book-like feel, and was notable for its large 6 × 8 inch (15.2 × 20.3 cm) touchscreen display which allowed you to navigate the HTML-based pages as well as highlight and draw simple notes on the pages. It could store approximately 1,500 pages (expandable up to 100,000), and claimed that the rechargeable battery allowed up to 5 hours of reading time.
Use of the SoftBook did not require a desktop computer or an Internet service provider; it had an RJ11 telephone jack and internal 33.6 kbit/s modem to connect with the "SoftBookstore" to download books. Publishers included HarperCollins, McGraw-Hill, Simon & Schuster, Warner Books, and others, and subscriptions to periodicals such as Newsweek, Time, and The Wall Street Journal were available (which could be downloaded automatically overnight if users kept the device plugged into a phone jack). Users could upload their own documents via SoftBook's Internet website to download onto their SoftBook.
The SoftBook was the first device to comply with the Open eBook specification, which was "based primarily on technology developed by SoftBook Press."
