\"image001\"<\/a>The two-screen Alex e-reader, from Cupertino, California startup Spring Design<\/a>, is a new electronic book reader that runs Google’s Android operating system. One screen is for paper-like, black-and-white reading. The other is for looking at pictures and video, surfing the Web, or browsing for books.<\/p>\n

Spring Design announced today that the Alex, which will debut at this week’s enormous Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, can download and read a million titles from Google Books’ collection of digitized books, through a deal with Google. The price for the Alex has not yet been announced.<\/p>\n

Alex connects via Wi-Fi to browse and download books. It also has audio and video playback, image viewing, and the ability to run some, but not all \u00a0Google Android applications.<\/p>\n

Spring Design, founded in Cupertino in 2006, is a privately held company best known for the lawsuit<\/a> Spring Design filed against Barnes & Noble in November 2009, claiming Barnes & Noble’s Nook e-reader stole the dual-screen concept and other features after meeting with Spring Design to discuss licensing the Alex as B&N’s e-reader.<\/p>\n
