Franklin
eBookMan
The Franklin eBookMan is a handheld
device specifically made to read ebooks,
but it also has standard PDA
functions, it plays audiobooks and other audio, and it can
record sounds.
It has a black on green touchscreen (some models have
backlight), 8 or 16 MB memory, and uses its own propriety operating
system. Its handwriting
recognition accepts nearly natural handwriting. The DRM
is tied directly to the hardware.
Although Research
and Development on the eBookMan has ceased in 2002, new
eBookMans are still being sold and there is an active user base.
Some users have written some very good programs for the eBookMan.
For instance a WikiWiki
program for the eBookMan, EBM-Wiki,
is freely available.
