The enTourage eDGe has a strange way of spelling its name but a bit less peculiar set-up than I originally anticipated. The Edge is “the world’s first dualbook” and includes an Android-powered ereader and netbook. Through the use of apps and a few integrated features, it’s also a notepad, audio/video recorder, and media player. The dual screens – one a larger than most 9.7-inch e-ink screen and the other a glare-free 10.1-inch screen that makes it easier to read outdoors – are a unique set-up that distinguished the eDGe from the dozen or so other ereaders I spotted at CES. Below is a hands-on demo of the ereader.
