The Spring Design device can't seem to make up it's mind. Is it a table or an e-reader? The page turn buttons look horrendous. I hope that ON/OFF button has a confirmation after its pressed. It doesn't look like you can use it to read a book with one hand. Too many problems with this device. I don't know why Engadget is saying this device gives a better impression. Just because you can surf the web and it has a larger LCD screen? yawn. ]]>Jan 7th 2010 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/
Really well said OP.

I agree, but I think there could be great uses for a more powerful device like this in some areas like academia. I was reading the source link and I do think this is a compelling argument for a niche consumer bases: "...serious students who can view videos of science experiments online on the LCD screen while reading textbooks on the EPD screen.”

By the way why does Chrome say oversaturate is the correct spelling but oversaturated is not. Chrome says it should be over saturated for past tense and oversaturate for present.]]>Jan 7th 2010 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/
For people like me who read a lot of web pages, this is really useful as I can read the morning newspaper on the breakfast table without straining my eyes on an LCD screen.

For $250-300, it'd have been a true Nook killer but at $400, it probably has shot itself. At this price it'll have a similar like Joo Joo.]]>Jan 7th 2010 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/"similar *fate* like Joo Joo"]]>Jan 7th 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/I believe that perfect eBook should fit in my pocket so I can carry it with me everywhere (bathroom, doctor's office, etc.).

$399? For an e-reader? Please, don't make me laugh again.

This is clearly a case of a company with too many engineers running amuck and not enough business savy at the helm. It reflects very poorly about the people in charge of this company.]]>Jan 7th 2010 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/Jan 7th 2010 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/Jan 7th 2010 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/Jan 7th 2010 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/
Who's buying these things?

Now before you jump on me I'm not talking eReaders in general, rather these little models from every company under the sun.

I know the Kindle is huge, I know the Nook is getting bigger, and that the Sony is pretty decent, and Fictionwise has its iPhone / 1150 reader to itself.

But aside from the big players, what's the market for all of these little readers that don't have a store integration or the general public isn't even aware of?]]>Jan 7th 2010 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/Jan 7th 2010 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/spring-designs-alex-e-reader-gets-february-22-release-date-39/
