Yes it can. I bought it several months ago and I can confirm that. However, in case you plan to use this "reader" as a book reader, I'd strongly suggest that you choose either a black and white reader, or a color reader without a Wacom styles layer on its display. The reason is that the contrast is so bad that it is very difficult to read even in diffuse daylight. I returned the reader and I am back on my black and white Likebook Ares with Wacom. I think I will just wait and see how the recently announced E-Ink tech "Gallery 3" compares to a black and white reader in terms of screen readability. Hope I could help. Take care, Michael
