Havon to sell ebooks on a 40-inch ‘Eletronic Bookshelf’ machine
Where to buy these ebooks? For most people the answer definitely are websites through personal computer or ebook readers.Just some clicks with a browser and traditional bookstores are no longer necessary. But Hanvon is surprisingly still trying to provide a way that’s kind of traditional for people to buy ebooks. The company announced today it’s going to bring a ebook selling machine which they called ‘Eletronic Bookshelf’ to sell ebooks this year.These machines, 1.5 meters in height, with a 40-inches touchscreen, would located in places like metro stations for people to download and preview ebooks. No doubt these odd ‘Eletronic Bookshelf’ are just computers with a big size screen with internet connectivity, and the UI looks very similar to iBook. We really don’t see any reason people to use them in nowadays.
