The e-book reader market is about to get hotter as Creative has announced their entry by showing a working prototype at an AGM held in Singapore. Unlike most of the e-book readers in the market, Creative’s attempt will be very different as its e-book reader will do more than books. Tentatively named as MediaBook, the device will run on Zii technology and support multimedia content playback, in short making it work as a larger sized PMP. Other features include an unspecified touchscreen display, text-to-speech function, social networking sites support and SD memory card slot.
The release date is not known but Singapore will be the first ones to receive it since Creative already churns out educational devices for the country.
