Plastic Logic, a 10 years old little known company founded by two Cambridge professors, just revealed the prototype of a new e-reader the size of the jumbo Kindle DX. It is extremely thin, has no keyboard, but does have a touch screen that displays a tool-bar along one edge and tabs for recently read books and documents. The device is WI-FI ready and will come with 3G cellular connectivity and users can turn the pages with the flick of a finger. The company said the device is designed mainly for business users and an e-commerce site which will allow owners to buy books, magazines and newspapers, is in its testing phase.
The device is set for release early next year and the company has not settled on a sale price yet.
