BenQ K60 nReader
Hi !
I'm new to eBooks. I would like to buy a eBook reader soon, but I'm not in a hurry. I want to wait for the most suited device. The "matrix" on this site (https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_Reader_Matrix) is a great tool to make comparison between all the devices. I've just found that BenQ will sell a new eBooks reader : K60 nReader Does anyone have informations on it ? http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/2961...r-ebook-reader Quote:

Looks pretty generic to me. Wonder if their so-called "slightly different route" is the USB port and nothing else. Kinda just looks like a ripoff of the Sony Touch...
Oh...seems really slow still too. Too bad. Last edited by LDBoblo; 11-18-2009 at 12:06 PM. |

This is the first commercial use for Sipix MicroCup displays outside of shelf labels. This is the first product based on these new displays since Sipix was purchased by AUO earlier this year.
I'm amazed they were so close that the transition has been so quick. Of course their process for film making was already roll to roll so it was an easier step. This should help bring display prices down over all now that we have PVI AND LG AND AUO/Sipix making displays Hooray for the consumer. |

I assume that the one shown is glass but either can be used. They make their film in a roll to roll process and then it is laminated to the backpane. If flexible plastic backpanes are available it would be very easy to make the entire process roll to roll reducing costs even further.
