The device will be similar to the Amazon Kindle or Sony Reader, although it will have a larger screen to facilitate reading magazine or newspaper content, according to comments from an interview with Hearst Interactive honcho Kenneth Bronfin.

And some pessimistic notes...
Quote:
Hearst is hoping its e-reader will meet a different fate. But McQuivey states that a device that debuts with a black and white screen would be a deal killer for many of the company's subscribers.
"Periodicals are just not effective in black and white," McQuivey says. "People who buy Esquire or Harper's Bazaar buy them because they want to see the magazine in color."
