Asus wishes to extend the Eee line of things, as it has done it on numerous occasions with notebooks and PCs. Now, however, the maker hopes to do it with an e-book reader.
If the company’s president Jerry Shen is believed, then we could have the Asus e-book reader anytime by the end of the year. The project isn’t a bad ploy from Asus; market for e-books is steaming, anyone can tap in with the best possible product. If Asus can do an e-book with a good screen and a durable battery life, well under what Sony and Amazon are selling theirs for, why not, they have a good chance. Then, low cost has been the company’s advantage with PCs too.
