Members of the Society for Information Display (SID) 2005
awarded the
Sony Librie e-book reader
Gold in the category
Display Product of the Year -- disregarding the fact that the device is crippled with ridiculous DRM. Dear Sony, a nice display is simply not enough to win our hearts. From the official announcement:
Quote:
Sony has reinvigorated the eBook category by integrating a bi-stable, electrophoretic, "electronic paper" display from the team of E Ink and Philips into its LIBRIé eBook. The DYAC bestowed Sony Corp. with the 2004 Display Product of the Year Gold Award for incorporating novel display technology in the design of an eBook that is more appealing to consumers, and which brings the eBook closer to fulfilling its potential.
