I found these two color ebook readers from Fuji Labs listed on Overstock.com a couple of weeks ago, but there’s not much information on either of them.
This first Fuji eReader looks a lot like several other color ereaders hitting the market lately. But this second Fuji B3260 eReader doesn’t look like any I’ve seen before.
Let’s start with the specs for the second one, it’s still in stock and is selling for $193. The most imteresting thing about it is that it supports 1080p video and has an HDMI port for connecting to a television—now that’s a first for an ebook reader.
Other features include handwritten notes, text-to-speech, 2GB of memory, three thousand fonts (that’s what it says…?), bookmarks, 48 listening modes and 9 sceen modes (no idea what that means), it has a 7-inch HD touchscreen with a resolution of 800 x 480, and it supports PSP-level 256-bit games.
For formats the Fuji Labs B3260 doesn’t list any DRM support, it lists the following formats: PDF, TXT, EPUB, CHM, UMD, PDB, HTM, HTML. For images: JPG, BMP, GIF. Audio: MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, and FLAC. And video: RM, RMVB, AVI, MOV, WMV, MP4, 3GP, FLV, ASF, MPG, MKV, VOB, DAT.
Moving on to the other Fuji eReader, the B3250, it is a more basic device that is listed at $153. It has a 7-inch screen (no touch) with 2GB of memory and supports these ebook formats: TXT, PDF, EPUB, RTF, TCR, BMK, MOBI, OPF.
For video the Fuji B3250 supports AVI, 3GP, and MP4. Images: JPG, BMP, GIF. Music: MP3 and WMA.
The only other bit of information on this model is that is supports FM radio and voice recording and can “auto browse patterns to read based upon individual reading habits” (whatever that means).
Both devices share the same dimensions at 8″ x 5.5″ x 0.5″. And both only come with a 30 day warranty (most come with 1 year).
If you’ve tried either of these ereaders from Fuji Labs let us know how well they work.
I have bought the Fuji or Fujida B3260 in Hong Kong and there is absolutely nowhere either in the States or Australia where a can buy eBooks for it. If anyone has ANY suggestions I would be most grateful.
From what I’ve read in the manual it doesn’t look like either of these Fuji ereaders support Adobe DRM for ebooks, so I guess that means you’re stuck getting ebooks from free websites and from sites that sell DRM-free ebooks.
I also bought a Fujida B3260 in Hong Kong, actually I bought 3
Gifts to give and one for myself. I have spent a week writing emails and talking to people about the problems with this device. There is no solution, no one makes books compatible with it. Even when I bought a converter for it it did not recognize the Fujida.
Is there anyone out there who can help?
I cant even contact the manufacturer.
I also bought a Fujida ebook reader in Hong Kong, but cannot find any model numbers on it;it looks like the one on the right, above, but is not a touch screen and certainly doesn’t have all the features described. Despite the blurb on the box about formats the only ones I have been able to get it to read are.mobi and .pdf.I have changed other formats to these at online-convert.com
