this kind of plastic ebook reader… will only work if only if the price is low and the machine (not computer) is stable… because mostly kindle we cannot bring to toilet, this is the biggest problem and it is heavy to hold in ur hand… now kindle is easy to carry, but the price is expensive… so it will not work also… second point, it require to stable… i mean not easy to broke… a book we can adjust the book what ever we want, cut down 2 page, make a shape or something and more easy to read… and finally, price…

I’ve always preferred hardcopy reads rather than reading off the computer screen, so I usually print out what I need, which sometimes does generate quite a bit of paper usage. This technology does seem to come as good news for those of us who prefer hardcopy reads, though hopefully they will continue to improve on its loading times.

Any company marketing these e-Readers should seriously consider building partnerships with the struggling newspaper industry. Bundling e-Readers with professional content could be a viable business model.

e-Readers still look & feel like a hack, including the Kindle. I want something between the finish of Apple & a hardback book.

By: New Media Hub | Blog Archive | The Death of Paper (not news): Plastic Logic shows off e-reader

Fri, 29 May 2009 16:47:01 +0000

[...] E-readers are coming on strong. While European local media has been available on a variety of e-readers, earlier this year the Detroit Free Press announced that it was exploring a partnership with Plastic Logic to include a device with a subscription, in what publisher David Hunke (now USA Today publisher), said was an initiative to help Detroit leap-frog from last place to first place in the new economy. Plastic Logic showed- off its super thin/light e-reader at the D-7 conference: Less clunky than Kindle. Techcrunch took a “what it can do” video, after the jump. More… [...]

Look at the stupid glare on that thing. My #1 gripe about my Kindle (which I love, by the way) is the reflective screen. That’s the biggest difference between a Kindle and paper. It makes it very difficult to read at night with a lamp on.

I’m writing up a review of the HP Mini 1000 Netbook and this was my initial thought. That one of the only reasons I would use a Netbook is as a cheaper alternative to a Kindle DX. But here’s the rub – the battery life is only 3 or 4 hours Vs. my Kindle 1 which last lasts several days on a single charge making it a more reliable Reader.

what happened to my comment? it was the first and took me time to write? it was not a troll like post just pointed out stuff missed? Has techcrunch lost the ability to discuss on comments.

In some aspects it reminds me “readius” a device from Polymervision. Readius screen was smaller, but rollable, but main features are common with Plastic Logic devicealmost. Readius I tested was an early prototype, so I don’t have seen the latest one, but then, the prototype needed seriously improvements on User Interface and GUI.

I was in China last month. Not just Hong Kong, I was on the mainland near Huizhou. You should all probably know that our money is worth over 7 times as much as theirs and they are the high tech manufacturing capital of the world.

We can just buy it from them and sell it here. UPS and Fedex do the rest and the tariffs in the US unlike Canada where they beat you to death from buying outside the country are low here.

So screw it.

$279 is for a brand new ACER Aspire One AOA150-1447 netbook intel atom n270 1.6ghz / 1gb ram / 160gb hdd / 8.9″ wsvga / xp home / 802.11bg wireless / webcam (blue) (retail)

If your piece of paper or ebook reader is more expensive than $279 and does not have said hardware, RAM, webcam, 160GB of storage,

then it’s a failure.

We don’t have to pay more because it says Amazon on it. We can get $50 e-paper from China by the shipping container full.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I think right now it is likely who can do it cheapest. The kindle still costs too much.

This new toys are really cool. Wonder if it will be able to compete against the kindle. What we are witnessing is the death of paper.
