Creative is Working on an eBook, Video Player Called Zii
Tech blogs are reporting that Creative is another company busy working on a device for reading ebooks. Creative's device called Zii will also offer other media including video and photographs. Engadget says the Zii is billed as a "MediaBook" device that will look "nothing like" the device pictured above. The Zii image is from an EpiZencenter.net post that says the Zii features a touchscreen, text-to-speech function and an SD memory card slot. For a device to work as an ebook reader the part of the screen that contains the electronic book's text needs to be as large as possible. The screen looks a little small for reading books in the photo.
