Please give me a link where I can buy a device with a Pixel Qi screen.
Wait... How do you think those LCD picture frames show pictures? Last I checked, they emitted light...

Not if they were transreflective.
anyway i accidently went to waterstones booksellers and they had the sony pr600 reader on display both the 4 and 6 inch version...
you were allowed to play with them.
Here is my hands on review:-
the 4 inch screen was silver and more acceptable but again the screen was
small and the frame too thick at 1/2 an inch...screen was smaller then a paperback.They are really ripping you off by keeping the screen small.
by god they were ugly looking and clunky.
the 6 inch had a hideous black frame 1/2 inch thick just like phil spectors thick frame NHS glasses but even more uglier...surrounding the screen.
it was screaming dorkdom to me. hideous fugly ..no style at all.
bad design..the black frame was off putting...distracting and mendacious.
it oozed a dork's geekdom and frankly i would not bee seen dead with one of these shouting "i am a nerd" to the world.
the black looked like made from cheap slippery bakelite plastic.
the silver spray painted one had a horrible slippery slimy feel to it in the same way the metallic 6500s sony ericson moblie phone feels slippery with a that slippery silver finish.
the 6500 s mobile phone always feels very slippery ,as if about to slip out of my fingers any moment and gives me the creeps.
what were sony thinking?
the controls were like wading through molasses and slower then bill gates vista running crysis 1
you click and you wait....
and wait...
and wait...
poor response.
the price was a rip off at a rip off £179 for the silver 4 inch.
£256 for black 6 inch "look at me i am a geek" framed one.
page turning was
slow and caused it to
FLASH..surely a software solution could ameliorate this like a software dissolve....
when turning the page there was a hideous flash,
LIKE THIS FLASH.
very unnerving and could cause pyschosis in the epileptic.
or even death.
