I just got a chance to play with the big-screened, touchscreened Skiff Reader, which is targeted at periodicals. It’s incredibly thin, incredibly light, and if a few issues get ironed out before launch, the Nook and Kindle should be scared.
It’s bigger than any Kindle or device from B&N. Optimised for magazines and newspapers, the Skiff Reader offers a huge and durable 11.5-inch (1600×1200) “Metal Foil” ePaper display, but it’s still just a quarter of an inch thick.
