Anyone heard/used Next Papyrus Page One EReader?

hch568 · 06-29-2010, 08:43 AM

I've heard about this and was amazed about the drop test on youtube: Page One Drop Test

It is E-Ink EReader with glass screen!! It is a joint venture of Foxit and NEXT PAPYRUS Inc.(a South Karean E-Reader maker). The specification for this ereader:
6" E-INK
16 gray-scale, resolution: 600*800
Weight: 200g
Internal storage: 2G
support: microSD (MAX:16GB)
Supporting format: PDF、GIF、 JPEG、PNG、BMP、ePub、TXT、MP3、WAV、WMA

Would you please share your hands-on experience of this E-Reader, if you have the opportunity of playing with it? I'm interested in the contrast, performance, multi-language support. Thanks!

it looks nice and they are using excellent hardware/electronics. Havent had a chance to test it first hand. They said they would send me one but have been focused on their launch in Korea.

Looks like Foxit is going to sell it under the name of eSlick PS

Sorry, my Inner Pedant wants to have a word:

The drop test might be more impressive if it wasn't done on what locks like a carefully-placed neoprene shock-absorbing mat. Try it on the cold, hard tiles and let's see how the device copes.

I haven't seen the device in the flesh ... err, plastic. The specs sound nice, but in this video the device itself looks a little ungainly for my personal tastes. Perhaps there is such a thing as too big!

its no wider and quite a bit shorter than your iRiver Story. It also weights 84 grams less than the Story

Are you sure, Dulin's Books? Unless the guy in the video has very little hands, it certainly looks a fair bit wider. It's almost square.

The tech guy of the online store which sold this device in Taiwan told me the Korean company contacted them and actually demonstrated the drop test in their store and in front of the staff (That online store has a real store front in Kaohsiung, Taiwan). And the tech guy said the drop test is real and true, not a doctored one. He told me that as long as you don't use a sharp object to poke at the screen, the screen won't crack. I haven't got time to travel to that city and visit that store yet. But it is really light-weighted (about 200g) and quite cheap (NT$7500 without case/cover, it is about US$230).

its a 6 inch display with the total dimensions being 157mm long x 125mm wide and 8.4mm thick .
The Story is 205mm x 128mm x 9mm

I believe the drop test. I dropped my pocketbook 360 from that high onto my brick hearth and only the case was nicked. Twisting is the bane of glass backed eink displays.
