When I look at the eInk website, I can not help but notice their claim that they are willing to make a display any size, form and whatever you want.

However, when I look at commercially available e-readers, there's basically only one size and two resolutions now that the Kindle DX is no longer available.

I would certainly be interested to look at a larger-screen or higher-resolution eInk reader that was as sharp as my Kindle Keyboard (the Paperwhite I received was not, unfortunately, so it went back).

As I see that they are offering a "standard size" for e-ink Pearl displays of 9.7" with a resolution of 2400 x 1650 pixels, all I can say is "WOW! - where can I buy one?" ... http://www.eink.com/display_products_pearl.html

Best regards,
Andy
