Description
The Rocket E-Book, or Rocketbook, was one of the first portable e-readers, along with the SoftBook. It was developed in 1997 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, founders of NuvoMedia, Inc. The device had enough storage for 4,000 pages of text, and it allowed users to annotate and mark their favorite passages.
