The eBook will be the next One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) design. The OLPC XO 2 is the next generation laptop to be released in 2010 that will hopefully revolutionize child literacy.

Founded by Nicholas Negroponte, the OLPC’s mission is to create educational opportunities for the world’s poorest children by providing them with a rugged, low-cost, low-power laptop. The OLPC XO 2 has dual touchscreens on a single spine that includes a keyboard and ebook functionality. This new design could get more books into to children’s hands around the world.

The Barnes and Noble Fairlawn store in Akron, Ohio will host a reading and signing of Made in China by Vanita Oelschlager on Jun. 19th from 10-11am.
