Skiff Reader

Salam.

Reading is good, that's an undeniable fact. Wait, would you flip over hundreds of pages to read till the end? That's one of the reasons people tend to stop reading, not to mention the weight of some books. Just look at this one;

'Breathtaking', huh? Hehe. Never mind, good things should always be done, and better be easier. That's where technology comes in picture. See this, and compare with last one;

Better, right? This is the latest e-reader called Skiff Reader; all-in-one thin and incredibly light modern book. It's only 498 grams in weight and you can load as much PDF, blog pages, thesis and so on as you want inside it, without adding more weight of course. Hoho. Its 11.5-inch full touchscreen is slightly bigger compared to Kindle and Nook; other e-readers in market - which gives it advantages and also disadvantages at the same time. The advantages are it gives more view space and suits newspaper reading style, but the drawbacks are that it's slightly less portable and might need a laptop-size bag to be put into.

The resolution is also satisfying; 1200 x 1600 px. People who have tried it also commented that there is no much problem of pixelated images and so on. This device is almost complete I'd say - it is 3G and WiFi-enabled, got speaker for audio and long battery life. Just a great device for easy reading. Plus, it is also durable (shatter-proof, crack-proof) with its Magnesium housing and also rugged metal-foil e-paper display.

This will be the next wave of reading as claimed by the company that they want to achieve. A very good social responsible product I must say. However, till today, I still didn't hear any release date or price for this device yet. Or you guys had? Mind to share? =)
