Delta's 13-inch color e-book reader is targeting the professional market where users may require a full display of content and fast pen input for notes. The company claimed that it is the only maker that is able to provide real pen input on the market as its product has faster response time than other e-book readers on the market.
Well I eat my pants, because this reader has some kind of pen support. Not sure what kind though.

No pricing for the Delta e-Magazine has been given, though Lee suggested that some publishers might offer the ereader free with a two- or three-year magazine subscription.
Err.

lolwut.

This device must cost well over $1000.

So they'll give it away free for a 2-3 year magazine subscription commitment. To break even that magazine must cost over $100 a month.

I mean I know some people might spend that much on porn, but seriously? Maybe they need to make the thing "waterproof" if that's really going to be their business model.
