Does it really? I dont think so but we could be in for a suprise.
"The device also simulates the physical feeling of turning a book page with a touch sensitive area. "
erm gain i dont think do... unless they mean buttons!?!
"The devices at 260 grams is heavier than most books and runs on batteries which, despite boasting a life equal to 6,800 continuous page turns from a single charge, will need to be recharged.
thats lighter than most books I have but I'll let them off, they get extra points for making it clear that the batteries...wait for it... will need to be recharged!
"When liquids are dropped on books, or they land in a swimming pool, they can be dried out, whereas e-books cannot."
how do you drop an ebook in the pool? ok im being picky but surely they mean an ebook reader. an ebook on cd dropped in a pool would be fine
maybe im just picky but it made me smile.
