In the last few weeks, we have looked at the most popular e-book readers, and the Entourage Edge is a new entrant in the space that promises to shake things up a bit. Running Android, it’s a mix of an e-reader and a tablet combined in one device, which certainly makes it interesting. We wonder how intriguing it would be as a product once the iPad debuts, along with a slew of similar products.

CNET writes, “A unique juxtaposition of e-book reader and tablet computer, providing an ideal platform for text notations and scholastic research.”

However, “It weighs as much as five Amazon Kindles and many of its most desirable capabilities are buried in a muddled, fractured user interface.”

In conclusion, “The Entourage Edge successfully answers the call for an e-book reader designed for textbooks and academics, but casual readers will find the device awkward to handle and complicated to operate.”
