Today we finally got our hands on the Target exclusive iRiver Story HD e-Reader! This is the first e-reader in the world to tap into the Google Books ecosystem for content. How does this new device rate against the competition and what does the HD mean? Hardware The iRiver Story HD e-reader features a six inch e-ink display with a tremendous resolution of 1024x768 pixels. It certainly packs a punch and you can see where they fit the HD into the selling point. Pictures and comic books look wonderful and very vibrant in comparison to other e-readers on the marketplace.Read more

Hardware The Kobo Aura HD features a 6.8 inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1440×1080 with 265Read more
Kobo has done a nice job with the design of its $149.99 Kobo Aura e-reader, but the display quality and built-in light don't quite measure up to the Kindle competition.Read more
