	Franklin eBookMan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Franklin eBookMan is a handheld device specifically made to read ebooks, but it also has standard PDA functions, it plays audiobooks and other audio, and it can record sounds.
		The DRM is tied directly to the hardware, which resulted in an immediate problem for marketing: it was not possible to try the device in-store since it wouldn't work until the user took it home, connected to the Internet and downloaded their own registered version of the OS.
		Although research and development on the eBookMan ceased in 2002, new eBookMans are still being sold and there is an active user base.

	Franklin Electronic Publishers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Franklin Electronic Publishers (formerly Franklin Computer Corporation) is an American consumer electronics manufacturer based in Burlington, New Jersey, founded in 1981.
		In August 1983, a court ruled against Franklin, who had argued that because computer code generally did not exist in printed form, it could not be copyrighted.
		Franklin also released a pair of IBM PC compatible computers, the Franklin PC6000 and PC8000, during 1986–1988.

		For example, Franklin may sign all of the FONT or other resource files that come with the OS so that other applications may not corrupt them.
		The content (your app or data) is encrypted for use in a specific eBookman® and only the eBookman® for which the content is created has the ability to decrypt the content.

	eBook Web: Putting the Franklin eBookMan Through its Paces (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The eBookMan is able to open.txt and.html files, but the viewer application lacks a lot in the functionality department, so converting in a proprietary format is the way to go.
		Franklin should quickly develop a GUI front-end for the CDK, as people publishing eBooks are not supposed to be technically-minded Unix hackers or rocket scientists.
		And for the 'unit-resets-when-changing-batteries' problem, it appears Franklin is aware of it, as there is a mention of it on their Web site asking users to provide feedback about this issue.

	Initial Franklin eBookMan Sales: $5.2 Million - 7/23/2001 - Publishers Weekly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Franklin Electronic Publishers' eBookMan, which began shipping in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, ending March 31, generated revenues of $5.2 million, the company reported in its 10-k filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
		Franklin said that consumer demand for the eBookMan has been adversely affected by late deliveries to retailers and the overall decline in demand for all handheld electronic products.
		The $5.2 million in eBookMan revenues was not nearly enough to offset sales decline in other areas, and as a result, Franklin's total revenues fell to $80 million from $97.1 million in fiscal 2000.
