Web addicts port Minimo to iLiad eBook reader

Minimo1_2Now hold on: I’m using "web addicts" as a compliment here. After all, my entire daily routine consists of Internet activity. ‘cept for the coffee and I’m working on a USB 2.0 delivery system for that too. No, it’s good to have access to the web through a usable browser and if the iLiad reader can do it, you can bet that a MobileRead reader will find a way. Adam B. now has Mozilla’s Minimo up and running for iLiad owners, but of course, you run some risk to your device software so be careful if you try this. Adam shares the installation in a 6.5 MB Zip file if you’re game.

This gets back to the entire notion of standalone book readers. If they have nice screens (which they should for book reading) and they have Internet connectivity for downloading content, why not include them with at least a minimal browser? That would add tremendous value and make these devices more appealing to a wider audience in my book. Heh… "my book"…
