PocketBook CAD Reader
Just stumbled upon this in my news reading

http://gigaom.com/2013/12/02/e-ink-p...ing-cad-files/



Quote:
The 13.3-inch Android tablet uses the latest E Ink Fina display which has less than half the weight of a similar glass-based TFT and is less than half as thick as well. The PocketBook CAD Reader has a 1 GHz dual-core chip and runs Android 4.0.4 with 2 GB of memory and 16 GB of internal storage. It also has an 8,000 mAh battery, Wi-Fi and an integrated 3G radio as well as Wacom digitizer support.
ohh Nate has it on his front page as well http://www.the-digital-reader.com/

It seems that it still has a glass backplane. Thinner glass (and so lighter) than on the 6" screens, but still glass.

Thinner might not mean more fragile - it might make the backplane more flexible and less liable to breaking through torsion/bending.

This seems only a good thing for AutoDesk. Another way for the output of their software to be used.

I don't know. It's still hard to beat good ol' fashioned paper for working with architectural and structural drawings, especially if you're working with anything bigger than 18x24". I'd be curious to see how this unit pans out.

I like that it has capacitive touch! The only negative it seems, is the weight of 700 grams but if you dont use it as an ebook reader thats alright^^

My current 9.7 reader weighs about 500gram which is alright when holding it in portrait mode but landscape isnt great ^^
