"Plastic Logic's reader demonstrates a balance between size and convenience. Though in the gadget world, much of the craze has been over "smaller and more powerful" devices, many might appreciate that Plastic Logic's reader is longer, wider and thinner than comparable devices, making it easier to read and carry around.


The device's backplane is composed of plastic -- which could eventually be made flexible once third-party manufacturers adapt their electronics to sustain bending, Plastic Logic officials told Wired.com. On the front, the device features a touchscreen for turning pages, menu navigation and typing notes with a virtual keyboard."
