Hands-on Literati Video Reviewįor memory, the device comes with 256MB of internal memory and has an SD memory card slot. There are two color variations for the device, white and black. The edges are tapered so it fits in your hand comfortably holding either one or two-handed. The Literati is made out of hard plastic and feels pretty solid. The one problem, however, is that there is an inner sleeve that holds the bottom of the unit that rides a little too close to the main navigation buttons, making them even more difficult to hit accurately with my large thumb.
It has a really nice, soft, book cover feel to it-not sure what kind of material it is. The cover that comes with the Literati greatly resembles a book cover. This makes you have to use the tip of your thumb instead of the surface of it like you would with the main control on the Kindle 3. The center button is higher than the outer ring of buttons, making it hard to hit the up, down, and side buttons without hitting the center one. The navigation wheel takes some getting used to.

It is solely an ebook reader.įirst off, the Literati comes in a gigantic box that looks like an oversized book. It does not have a web browser or video player or even an audio player. The Literati is not a multi-purpose ereader/tablet hybrid. While its elongated design somewhat resembles the Augen eReader, it is in no way like that device. That's not necessarily a knock on the device that's how it was designed to be. The Literati by Sharper Image is a very basic ebook reader. It sells from a number of major retail stores including Bed, Bath and Beyond, Best Buy, J.C. The Literati was released in October for a suggested retail price of $199. While the name on the box says Sharper Image, it is made by a company called Merchsource. This Literati review takes a look at the new color ebook reader by Sharper Image.
