Black fingertips, the smell of ink and rustle of a newspaper may become a thing of the past, if you take a look at the Plastic Logic Reader.Look and Feel
The Plastic Logic reader features a bigger readable display than your typical Kindle or Sony Reader, close to DINA4 / US Letter. Yet it's thinner than a pad of paper, lighter than many business periodicals and, get this, it's flexible.
Product Support
The Plastic Logic reader supports a full range of business document formats, such as Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint, and Adobe PDFs, as well as newspapers, periodicals and books. It has an easy gesture-based user interface and powerful software tools that will help business users to organize and manage their information. Users can connect to their information either wired or wirelessly and store thousands of documents on the device. The reader incorporates E Ink technology as used in Kindle and Sony Readers, and features low power consumption and long battery life. It's a British invention manufactured in Germany. The Plastic Logic reader is scheduled to ship in the first half of 2009.
I'm going to watch this in comparison to the Kindle and Sony Reader, with interest.

This looks much more promising than the Kindle. I may have to reassess my objections to digital books (which was only ever going to take a matter of time)!
