Introducing
The Multimedia Reader and Content Player
See more and experience more with Franklin's new eBookman - the best electronic reading experience available in a pocketable format. With this device, you can read (or listen) to thousands of your favorite titles, enjoy your favorite music, and carry all of your important personal data wherever you go!
But there's more. eBookman has a large, 16 level grayscale display that shows 87% more information than today's popular handheld devices. It can record your voice, take notes in your natural handwriting, or perform a multitude of organizer tasks. The MultiMediaCard slot allows you to add more memory - up to 64 MB at a time. Our unique Open and Secure platform and free SDK are an open invitation to future development, which will provide you with even more titles and content to choose from. And even though you get more, you won't have to pay more; eBookman is available in three models, with prices to suit any budget and lifestyle.
