Interead to Release COOL-ER 3G eReader in Mid 2010

Opinions on the COOL-ER eReader–you know, the one that comes in lots of colors and showed up at BEA 2009 with swimsuit models–are mixed. Some say it’s light and sexy, some say it’s flimsy and clunky. One constant complaint, however, has been its lack of wireless connectivity and instant download capabilities–for roughly the same $250, you can get a Kindle or a Nook with their robust, 3G-connected download stores. Well, Miami-based Interead, the makers of COOL-ER, has plans to add those two features on a new model in mid-2010.
