5 Linux powered e-book readers

By Prakash / 4-Aug-2010

Linux powered devices are experiencing an exponential growth. E-book readers are gaining popularity because they can carry huge volumes of books, are environmental friendly and can do other things amongst being a book reader like listen to music or run apps.

I didn’t realise that so many of the popular e-book readers run Linux:

Amazon Kindle DX
Sony Reader PRS-900
Spring Design Alex
enTourage eDGe
PocketBook 302

I find the enTourage very interesting. which is a dual screen one is e-ink based (easy for reading) and another is a LCD.

Since Linux is under GPL, does this imply that the source code for these devices must be made available, and more to the point, that these devices are re-programmable?
