There's a web browser hiding inside the iriver Story HD, but it's pretty shy

Posted on Jul 19, 2011 by MG1

Looking for a way to surf the web on your new iriver Story HD? The Digital Reader's got you covered, with a nifty, albeit not totally satisfying hack. As it turns out, the Story HD's much-ballyhooed Google eBookstore operates as a mobile version, rather than an app, meaning you can use it to access other pages -- if you know the trick. All you have to do is navigate to the first Help page within the eBookstore, where you'll see a list of links running across the top. The Books link leads to books.google.com, from which you can jump to google.com, effectively putting the internet at your fingertips. The major downside, however, is that iriver's hidden browser won't give you an address bar, th...

iRiver Story HD becomes first Google eBooks-integrated e-reader, won't be the last

iRiver Story HD becomes first Google eBooks-integrated e-reader, won't be the last

Posted on Jul 12, 2011 by MG1

We aren't exactly lacking for digital bookstores, but Google's eBooks offering is indeed one of the slickest around. And evidently, it's not in nearly as many places as the marketers in Mountain View would like. The Goog just announced that iRiver's Story HD would soon become the first Google eBooks-integrated e-reader, with the new model going on sale July 17th at Target. It'll still sell for $139.99, and none of the actual hardware specifications will change from the existing model. Of course, the eBooks platform has been open to all publishers, retailers and manufacturers from the start; it's just that iRiver has become the first manufacturer to heed the call. Naturally, Google's teasing ...

Google pairs up with iRiver for first Google Books e-reader

Google pairs up with iRiver for first Google Books e-reader

Posted on Jul 12, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: Googleiriver

Google has announced a new partnership with hardware manufacturer iRiver for the first e-reader that is integrated with the Google Books platform. The Story HD looks strikingly similar to the original Amazon Kindle, but it has the ability to purchase and read Google Books over a Wi-Fi connection.
With the Story HD, you can access Google's library of 3 million free ebooks and hundreds of thousands that are for sale. The Story HD has direct access to the Google Books database, so you do not need to sideload books on to it through a computer. It supports read syncing, so that you can pick up where you left-off in the book, even if you switch to a different computer or device to continue reading...
