Tablet startup Kno has combined the single shade line-up privately for students in the hopes of making electronic textbooks the widespread being upon college campuses.

The inscription will have the 14.1-inch shade, creation it the greatest slate to become available. It will have a touchscreen as well as the stylus to take records on a device.

In June, Kno showed off a dual-screen device that would have dual 14-inch LCD touchscreens which overlay in similar to the book. The thought behind the device was to have textbook pages fit perfectly opposite the screen and upsurge from a single digital page to another.

The association plans to boat both a singular as well as dual-screen inscription by a end of the year. However, it hasn’t voiced pricing for either of the products. The dual-screen chronicle was expected to price “under the $1000.”

“Our brand-new inscription will be absolutely cheaper than a dual shade chronicle,” Osman Rashid, co-founder as well as CEO of Kno pronounced during a TechCrunch Disrupt event where a device was introduced.

Detailed specs for the single shade inscription have been not yet available. But it is approaching to be powered by the Nvidia Tegra processor. The inscription will also have the stylus for handwriting approval, the full browser as well as support Flash.

Apple’s iPad has led to renewed interest in tablets. Companies such as Dell as well as Samsung have expelled tablets in a final couple of months. But most of those devices have been targeted during general consumers. Kno bills itself as a first inscription combined exclusively for students.

But Kno’s foe is expected to come from iPad apps. For example, the startup calledInkling has created the abounding, beautifully written iPad app which delivers textbooks to students. Inkling is working with publishers to offer coursework as well as texbooks in areas such as biology, government and engineering. Users can compensate for only the section of a book or buy an complete text by a app.

The Kno tablet, says Rashid, will assistance students do some-more. The device lets users pull, take records, emanate stickies on it, prominence text as well as collaborate with alternative students.

Kno, that was proposed in September last year and now has some-more than 90 employees, says it has created its own software that will “normalize” books in the PDF format. It will also supplement interactive elements to the books as well as allow students to make notes and annotate a margins of an electronic textbooks.

Similar to Amazon’s Kindle, Kno hopes to have the own bookstore.

The company has inked deals with 4 vital text publishers, including McGraw Hill, Pearson as well as Wiley.
