QUE pro-Reader Aimed at the Business Professional
Plastic Logic's long awaited "QUE" pro-Reader was unveiled at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas yesterday.
According to recent reports, the touch screen device with a 10.7-inch shatterproof display—the largest on the market—will be offered in two versions from mid April. The 4GB version has a capacity for 35,000 documents and can operate only using WiFi, and will cost $649.00 while the 8GB model at $799, like the Amazon Kindle will run on both WiFi and 3G networks from AT&T with no added monthly subscription.
Unlike other e-readers this device is being marketed to the business professional who needs to read rather than consumers who read for leisure. The pro-Reader is designed to be the size of a pad of paper and at about 1/3 inch thick, it weighs less than many periodicals. With the annotating feature, printing won't be necessary. Mobile professionals can look forward to a paperless briefcase, a lighter load, and a better way to work
