"The screen isn’t in colour, either, and design-wise this, like the iPad, is a device that needs a cover to protect it from the real world. Unfortunately that will set you back nearly £50 and effectively doubles the width of the device."
Well, we all know about colour (not ready for prime time in e-ink). But I can't imagine what kind of cover they're using that doubles the width of the device.
Holy smoke batman, just feel the width!
Or perhaps they meant, doubles the
depth?
