Transistors build on plastic - Plastic Logic Reader

The "Plastic Logic reader" (see video demonstration on the left) is non expensive stand alone readable display, which is thinner than classic displays. It's very light and offers b/w images with very good contrast ratio.

Device itself supports a full range of electronic document formats, including MS Word, MS Excel, MS Powerpoint, Adobe *.pdf and so on.

Build-in user Input interface is based on gestures. Users are able to connect to any source of information through wired or wireless connection and store them in device.

Reader incorporates E-Ink technology and has low power consumption.

I would buy this in an instant, for pretty much any price, if it came with the ability to actually write documents so I can take notes on it during lectures...

Unfortunately both with this and the Kindle DX that doesn't seem to be an ability even though they both have keyboards. I don't quite understand why that isn't a priority.

The most silly thing they could do at this point is to sell it for too much. If it costs 200$ or 300$ it will be a huge hit. Everybody will use it, and they will make tons of money and dominate the market. Like the Ipod. They are obviously better than everybody else in the market. But if they sell it for too much will be like the mac pre osx. Nice but too costly. And then others will copy the idea and they will have lost their opportunity.

They said it would be cheap. In preorder it costs 649 or 799$ depending on memory size. So who might want that, if one can get sony or amazon readers for 30% of that price?

This is just too complicated, fragile, and expensive to be used as a windshield wiper. Soft rubber works best without giving that "squeak squeak" of cheaper wipers. The ability to display books and magazines also, l think, would make distracted drivers of us all. Especially during rain. Has anyone even addressed if this technology is waterproof? Or how it wipes glass in the snow?

I want one.

I do not understand whether it is possible to write notes on the text somehow...

I think you can do that with the iRex iLiad ereader.
