When they can make color e-ink not expensive, not slow, and not low contrast. The closest think shown so far is the Flepia with 8 second page changes, faded color, and a $1000 price tag. Woo hoo!

bad angle, but at least you can see the refresh rate.

"Not to mention, this thing's edge on the competition is what again, exactly? Refresh rate? It's not screen size, not with that price putting it well beyond DX's.
"

Some people just want a basic e-reader with a large e-ink screen. Those are the people Kindle DX is aimed at.

Business professionals and academics need additional functionality, such as the ability to make notes quickly, decent folder structure, good compatibility with various formats, etc, etc. Those people are the target market for the Que. It's not in direct competition with the DX. Actually, the only direct competition currently out there is the Irex 1000 series which is considerably more expensive (although it's likely there'll be a slew of new products in the area coming to market this year)]]>Jan 7th 2010 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/plastic-logic-debuts-que-touchscreen-e-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/plastic-logic-debuts-que-touchscreen-e-reader/
Full touchcreen without the glare (all others that don't have glare use Wacom and thus fingers won't work)

Ability to open and annotate all standard workplace documents. (Competition are lucky if they can open a TXT file let alone properly rendering a PDF, excel file, or powerpoint)

Large screen (not exactly unique to the QUE, but not as common as the 6 inch screen like the kindle)

And most obvious, a Plastic substrate, thus the name. (All othe e-ink screens are made on a fragile glass substrate and are very prone to damage without being careful, especially in the larger screen sizes)

So ultimately this thing isn't about reading novels. It is about being able to replace the notebook you carry around to all the meetings at the office. It is about being able to replace the 80 lbs of text books college kids are carrying around all day. Ultimately color is really the only thing holding it back from being a superb device in that arena. ]]>Jan 7th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/plastic-logic-debuts-que-touchscreen-e-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/plastic-logic-debuts-que-touchscreen-e-reader/Jan 7th 2010 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/plastic-logic-debuts-que-touchscreen-e-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/plastic-logic-debuts-que-touchscreen-e-reader/

I'm guessing it's like the iphone: no expandable storage and no user-replaceable battery. Similar resolution to kindle but half the number of shades.

All this time they have been saying a 8 1/2 by 11 display but that is pure BS!
