. Fter having taken a quick look at the blogosphere, I was very surprised how little impact it has had what I teach now. The digital book reader from Amazon, Kindle , had a huge coverage from the beginning of its launch . So both called attention to the case of the Plastic Logic Reader.
The company that will produce and market, Plastic Logic says it will be available in the spring of next year. And the impression is that the product, unlike the Kindle and other options will not have to give the format of the original books. Faced with the Kindle, you can run natively-pdfs with Word documents, Excel and Powerpoint, "what you can do with your digital copies and take them with you without having to change its format. As if this were not enough, as you can see in the second video, the battery lasts for days, there is the possibility of marking, underlining, attach notes and elsewhere, and the device comes with wireless. Honestly, I am left without words.
I guess there are some who are wondering if this is an evolution from paper or, indeed, shows the desire to maintain a relationship with the text reading and anchored in the past. Honestly, I do not care, I think that if the price is not excessive may be a good option not to be loaded with the laptop and reading all my digital documents anywhere and, above all, re-reading support digital and not that strange mixture between reception and production that forces the laptop or notebook. Right now working in the production of color ink, so the first models will be limited to black and white.
If you like to keep you up to date on the evolution of the product, the website of Plastic Logic Reader is here .
You can find product information at Engadget , E-Ink , Gizmodo and Digg . As there is more news on price and availability I will update this post.
