| Low quality is 300dpi old laser printer used to do fine at it. I have the Sony reader and love it, but this thing is fugly. There is different types of eink I think the phone screens are not bit mapped. On the whole I think this is going to flop. Most people do not want to carry around a tablet when a paperback is what they want. All the gizmos are a waste. Also, why add dumb features like wireless? Simplify, the ebook has a built in mp3 player, guess how many people use it? The sony could be improved by upping it's resolution to 300dpi, make the screen a little bigger. Keep the same cool form factor and remove some useless buttons. Put a front light on it. And remove the DRM, DRM will keep killing ebooks until publishers get a clue. I also think there is room for an ereader with a 300dpi letter sized display, panasonic had really cool looking prototype. Give me that in a sony style package with a pdf reader and I'll gladly fork over $1K for it. Currently working through Guttenberg, amazing how Mickey Mouse has totally corrupted the idea of public domain. |
