Creative launches Zii MediaBook e-reader Creative has announced the launch of the Zii MediaBook e-reader, marking the company's entry into the seemingly crowded e-book reader market.
The MediaBook will use Creative's powerful Zii application processor, used in the company's HD media players such as the Zii Egg.

The device will do more than just read books, and will include social networking integration and video playback.

Adds Willie Png, vice president for strategic business, Creative: "The MediaBook will harness videos, pictures, text and services in one device that supports rich media experience."

No word on price or release date but this e-reader should be a game changer.
