DigiTimes had the opportunity to talk with Philips Polymer Vision about Concept Readius, a monochrome 5-inch QVGA display which can be rolled back into a pocket-size device and which offers all the benefits of electronic paper including high contrast and low power consumption.

This sounds _very_ promising. I hope the device will be capable of reading as many formats as possible, is user friendly, and above all, affordable! If it can be all, or even most of these things, it coud truly revolutionise the ebook/reader market.

But if it actually gets to market, even in the limited quantities that the Libre did, a certain community will attempt to correct any deficiencies the device would have. If the pictures are any indication, though, that certainly looks like the most portable device I've ever seen. |

The cost is the big kicker. If they market it cheap enough to begin with, there will always be boffins that "fix" the other problems (similar to what's happened with the Librie).
