The first 2-in-1 netbook and e-reader is ready to be shipped next week. The dual screen gadget from Entourage incorporates a 9.7-inch E-ink screen on the left and a touchscreen LCD display on the right, which serves two purposes, an e-reader or a normal netbook.

As a marketing strategy, Entourage has launched its own e-book store like Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Having its own e-bookstore allows them to offer documents based on their customer demand.

The device will come with 4GB storage, SD card slot for additional storage as well as 2 x USB ports. The $490 device will be running on Google’s Android mobile operating system and will support Microsoft Office documents.

In term of battery life, the power is suffice for 6 hours of operation when using both screens, or primarily the LCD screen. But when runs only using the e-ink part, it could last longer up to 16 hours.
