Platic Logic E-Reader Prototype Demo

[gadgetboy1234]

the casing looks like its from the 80s

[heartsMuzikhearts]

The only thing i like about this is that is touchscreen

Kindle needs to hurry up and make a touchscreen

[lirongna]

can it be used to read pdf files or just epub? how good is it to read pdf files?

[dice283]

Paper? What's that?

[bdinh14]

ITS LAGS WAY TO MUCH!!!

[freedog008]

I'll wait for Sony to come out with a full color feature with POWER....this thing is obviously running on 4 cylinders instead of 8.

[GenevaSwiss]

me too. Sony new e-book reader is not bad, two things puts me off about it, its elegancy is shit and not being colour.

by the way what the fuck is this .. i mean in this video, i wont buy it at alllllllllllllll if this is as cheap as the price of a pencil

[hinduw]

lags like hell

[TeddyLeper]

Although these e-readers are progressing nicely, I think a cheap effective product that is acceptable to a mass audience is about 3 to 5 years out still.

[Megatron666]

You are completely right...but I want one now!!

[TheGPlank]

I completely agree with you. However, I have tonnes of documents and books that I have to lug around so this would definitely give my back a break...it's too bad that it'll be a another 3 to 5 years till all the kinks are worked out and the price point is more attractive that we can get wide spread adoption...which will translate into the vast vast majority of books being made available in this format.

[TeddyLeper]

I haven't used one in person yet, but perhaps the iPad would meet your needs.

[ninik09]

it looks very business like I think it will not work 4 me as I read to enjoy myself. but all and all I like it, it I someday find out it has some more features as internet browsing and video and mp3 and such and such I will take it in a bit.

[ciaBLUEBIRD]

we're not talking about price at this time ~hee hee hee Like they say if you have to ask.....

[murumiq]

So fucking cool but I will stick with the nook until plastic logic's platform becomes more mature. I love the use of e-paper and I want color. This device is cool but if it is going to be priced at the same point as the other e-book readers it needs to be faster. I love the size and all and I would get one in a heartbeat, only if it was a bit faster than what is on offer.

[openuniverse2003]

Waste of time. Plastic Logic is too little, too late. Had they come out last year, it would be a different story. Also: Asus ereaders are coming out by year end, basically a thin tablet PC/ereader;  two versions, a one tablet and a two-tablet folding ereader. IN COLOR. NO DOCUMENT TYPE LIMITATIONS.

R.I.P. Plastic Logic, Kindle, Sony, iRex, etc.

[bluemukaki]

you're an idiot

[openuniverse2003]

You are indeed.

[jcooper86]

How are the documents getting on the reader? No word on that. Wireless? Bluetooth? They say they are focusing on "business use," so does that mean it will support Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and the equitable Apple apps? Final cost to be competitive with Kindle for JUST business applications...hmmmm...don't know how competitive that will be. BTW, their "drawing" little circles and stars on the screen looks gimmicky. Cool, but practical application? No.

[HandyBendyGandhi]

It's great but it's just too sluggish.

[TrueAppleGeek]

It seems that the response is very slow.

[trejkaz]

Typical problem with e-ink displays.

[jtunkelo]

wwant!

[bobjenz]

Wow. Wicked Cool.
