Kyobo Mirasol e-Reader Now Available in Canada and the USA

The Kyobo Mirasol e-reader has finally made the long trek from South Korea to North America. This is the first ebook reader on the market that utilizes the new Mirasol Color e-paper technology. Utilizing Android 2.3, it allows you to install your own apps and download new ones from the Amazon App Store.

The New Kyobo Mirasol e-Reader has only been around for a few short months and is totally amazing! It features a 5.7 inch capacitive display with a resolution of 1024×768. It really does pack a punch in terms of how good things look on this small screen and we noticed comics, books, and images often look better than on competitive devices such as the Kobo Vox. Underneath the hood lurks a 1 GHZ Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 processor and 512 MB of RAM. This Mirasol e-reader might not have the dual core punch that the Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet has, but it is enough to do common tasks without long delays in programs opening or web browsing.

This new e-reader runs Google Android 2.3 and ships with many reading apps to get you right into reading. It comes with Moon+ Reader, Aldiko, Nook, Kindle, and Kobo for Android. It is also bundled with services to allow you to install your own apps such as the Amazon Android Market and our own Good e-Reader App store.

You can order it right now for $399.99 from Shop e-Readers and have it delivered anywhere in Canada, USA, and internationally fairly quickly.

I made the mistake of being impatient and buying a Kyobo ereader off Ebay rather than waiting for one already rooted. I would have definitely waited and bought one from you had I known. With your contacts with Kyobo do you at least have access to a translated instruction manual for the reader? I would be content with the built in reading app if I knew what all the Korean controls did. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I so want it, but will wait for bigger screen, about 7 inch would be nice.

It has tempered glass(like gorilia glass) that causes glare.. and back side design is terrible.

I’ve had my e-reader unlocked from ebay for a couple of weeks, I bought it to run flight navigation software (XCSoar) which requires sunlight readability, here is a link to a brief video (shot with a Galaxy S2) which compares the Kyobo with an iPad (3) in sunlight

As you can see there is no comparison at all, the iPad is utterly useless in sunlight
