Digital paper makes device debut
Carrying around 500 books is getting a lot lighter.
The display has a resolution of 170 pixels per inch, which E-Ink says is comparable to the print quality of newspaper.
Unlike more familiar LCD displays, the screen can be read at almost any angle and in bright sunlight as it uses tiny charged beads to form letters and images. …
The Librie will weigh just over 300g including batteries and front cover and will run off four AAA batteries.
E-Ink says the display only draws on battery power when text is refreshed which means it will be able to display about 10,000 pages before the batteries need changing.
The device is 13mm thick and its screen measures 15cm diagonally.
It also includes a qwerty keyboard, USB 2.0 connector and a slot for Sony Memory Sticks.
