These things are finally turning from ugly to sexy. I want.



3G, WiFi, touchscreen.

The Skiff Reader, the first e-reader to integrate the upcoming Skiff Service, is a state-of-the-art device that is simple and easy-to-use. Our innovations include:
Largest e-paper display › More viewing area for a richer reading experience.
Thinnest e-reading device › Remarkably sleek. Easy to hold, use and carry.
Most durable e-reader › First-of-its-kind metal-foil display (eliminating the fragility of glass). A magnesium housing. An incredibly sturdy device.
Highest display resolution › Four times as many pixels as most e-book readers, for more immersive reading.
Full touch screen › For intuitive content selection and navigation. Instant page turns with the swipe of a finger.
Extraordinary battery life › Read for a week between charges.

Nice. I don't see any cost info. What does it cost to buy? What does cost to download a typical book?

This was barely anounced in the past few days, so expecting a product before Christmas would be very unlikely imo. Does look awesome though.
