Storing hundreds of books on a digital device is a great way to satisfy your thirst for adventure or knowledge without needing lots of shelving in the home. But e-readers don't really feel book-like. Until now. E Ink has partnered with Readmoo to launch the first foldable color e-book reader. Folding gadgets are very much in vogue at the moment – from phones to tablets and bike helmets to bikes. The basic idea is to start with something large and compact it down for easy transport.

Though it has dabbled in other materials, Urtopia is best known for its carbon fiber bikes. Now the young maker has added a fat-tire utility ebike to its stable, which is being pitched as a "head-turning, cargo-carrying, joy-spreading machine."Founded by engineers (and keen cyclists) from MIT, the University of Minnesota, Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University, Urtopia launched an Indiegogo in 2021 for a striking road bike.

Just last month we trawled the internet for updates to our coverage of the Dynafin propulsion concept from marine giant ABB. Now the technology has been independently tested, which also gives us our first look at the actual system. ABB says that the Dynafin concept has been in development for more than a decade, but much of that was out of the public eye. The project officially launched in May 2023.

Digital notebooks with E Ink screens offer scribblers, jotters and doodlers an old school paper-like creative experience while also cramming in modern tech. The latest to join the party comes in the shape of a color E Ink tablet called the Bigme B7. The B7 was originally outed on Chinese social media last month, and has now appeared on Bigme's global store in preparation for global release. As its name might suggest, the Kaleido 3 E Ink display measures 7 diagonal inches.

There appears to be a race on to launch the first 13.3-inch color ePaper monitor. Dasung currently has an Indiegogo waiting in the wings, but it's looking like Bigme will be first to the line with pre-order status for its B13 device. Laptops are great tools for mobile productivity, but limited screen space can be a major check in the minus column.

E Ink demonstrated a new flavor of its Kaleido color electronic paper technology at ISE 2025 back in February, which is designed for big outdoor displays. Now the company has announced a 75-inch display featuring its color-rich Spectra 6 ePaper. Despite making great strides in color ePaper over the years, onscreen content still can't match backlit LCD, OLED or other display technologies in terms of color depth and eye-popping visuals. At least not in the consumer space.

Sony tweaked its Bravia TV processing engine last year, and built two prosumer home cinema projectors around it. Now another model has joined the Bravia Projector family, which is designed to "deliver a professional-grade cinematic HDR experience in the home."The Bravia Projector 7 comes in a shade more compact and a tad lighter than the Bravia Projector 8 and 9 models – shaping up to 18.5 x 18.1 x 7.87 in (472 x 460 x 200 mm) and 28 lb (13 kg).

Like many oddball ideas, the JackRabbit micro ebike began as a crowdfunding project in 2018. The cross between a compact bike and scooter has been growing in power and size ever since, with the new Pro models being the most beastly yet. It's safe to say that then startup's original Kickstarter ride was something of a strange looker. The "not a bike, not a scooter" sported a diminutive frame and mismatched wheels, it weighs under 20 lb (9 kg), and it could motor its rider to 18 mph (29 km/h).

Music lovers keen to join the vinyl revolution will need to invest in hi-fi gear, such as a turntable. Many disc spinners require listeners to get hands-on before grooving. But Pro-Ject removes this finicky process with a new Automat model. Austrian hi-fi brand Pro-Ject has been manufacturing highly acclaimed turntables for more than 30 years, but every one of those needed living-room DJs to manually position the tonearm's cartridge above the spinning records before getting into the groove.
