Toshiba’s Biblio is touted as an e-book reader. Instead of an electronic paper display like ones found in established e-book readers, such as Amazon’s Kindle, the biblio makes do with a traditional 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen with an extra-long 480×960 resolution.  The advantage here is that the Biblio can render crisp color images rather than grayscale, but the e-ink display is more battery friendly and is said to cause less eye strain.
It features 7GB of user-accessible storage on board for books, and also has a slide-out dynamic keyboard that can display a numeric pad in the portrait orientation or full QWERTY in landscape. Books and other content can be downloaded thanks to a Wi-Fi connection. Opera Mobile 9.5 browser is preloaded onto the handset, which includes YouTube and Flash support, as well as AJAX scripting. Moreover it has a 5.1Mpix camera module, and an electronic dictionary module.
Sadly, there’s no word on pricing or availability for the device.
