Plastic Logic

A4 is longer than letter by 0.7" - and narrower - and shrinkage between the two is actually very noticeable when photocopying. Most scientific journals publish on A4 and the abstracts often at 9 or even 8 point font - further shrinkage would compromise a letter screen-size device for my purposes and I expect for many others in Europe, Canada, Australia etc. in business/academia. So I hope the screen will be long and wide enough for both paper types, but haven't heard back from PL on that yet.

Ever heard of a VECTOR??? Or are you stuck in 1962 with direct ink drum copies?

You're right, and A4 publications NEVER use a margin.. seeing all that white space on your ELECTRONIC disply is crucial to accurate image replication and review.

Go soak your head, maybe it'll come out with more sense.

1) is you know english?

Why not a bottle opener? And a slot to store your change?

You're right, it's easy and cheap. You should be able to make one in your garage from toothpicks and bubblegum.

Again, you're a moron.

It's TOO fucking expensive.. the technology wasn't mature, the processes weren't developed. You can't say "business should have put more into it sooner" ...business does what's profitable at the time, and they wait for R&D to provide viable technology. They aren't going to sink resources into pipe dreams.

There are several other electronic paper-substitute technologies the big manufacturers could have developed/bought out, not just this one, but they didn't - they under-invested in the whole business E-paper concept. Conversation over.

Your comment that A4 and letter are the same size is also wrong, they are quite different. Try either getting your facts straight or toning down the abuse a little!

Could have developed/bought out? Well shit, YOU could have. China could have. But didn't and for very valid reasons, it's too fucking expensive and the technology wasn't mature, it was RISKY.

I never said A4 and letter were the same.. I said it was aimed at the US market, common A4 (letter) size.. which are VERY close, and would both display at 100% on this device.

God damn you are dense, or just have horribly poor reading comprehension, or both.
