Kno to Launch an iPad-style Tablet in Time for Christmas

The device, which can be used as an e-book reader, is available in single and dual-screen models and is the ultimate student gadget.

The software system is designed to allow users to read textbooks, take notes inside the pages and keep track of pending school and university projects.

According to the company, a single device can hold an astonishing 10 semester's worth of textbooks, notes, applications, research content, homework, web links and other material. This will save students from dragging around heavy textbooks all day.

The Kno reader has a 14 inch screen, and will cost around $599 when it goes on sale in the United States in December. This is $100 more than Apple's iPad.

The dual-screen version also features 14 inch displays and will set students back $899. Both support touch input, and are based on a Linux operating system.

Osman Rashid, chief executive of Kno, said the tablet would allow students to save thousands of dollars. Digital textbooks will be sold through the Kno bookstore and cost between 30 and 50 percent less than physical textbooks.

"When you do the maths, it actually pays for itself," said Rashid.

The devices support Flash and HTML5 for web browsing, as well as high-definition video playback, and music and audio recording. Users can navigate menus and input text using a finger or stylus.
