  Companion kit only for Android mobes... for now  Transforming
your business with flash storage   For the moment that phone
will have to run Android, but iOS software is promised soon.
Once paired with the beagle, the Android application supports
Adobe Digital Editions, so books purchased from anywhere except
Amazon – including those electronic editions borrowed from the
local library – can be transferred onto the beagle for reading
on its 5-inch e-ink screen.  By depending on an Android device
for browsing, buying and managing books, the beagle can be kept
really simple, and cheap, but even the €10 price is subsidised.
There will be an unsubsidised version which will cost more, but
we don't yet know how much more.  The connectivity is Bluetooth,
and there's no touchscreen or anything like that, but battery
life (from a pair of AAAs) is counted at a couple of years
(depending on one's reading habits) and the company claims a
weight of only 128g, which should be comfortable even if the
screen isn't much bigge
