Holy crap, how'd I get down ranked for that? Listen up, lemmings: A true ereader has to have e-ink, period. Any type of lit display is going to cause faster eye fatigue than e-ink or paper.

Have some sense of techy geek pride and stick to standards.]]>Jan 17th 2010 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/
I agree in principle. Most of the original point of e(book)-readers was the advantages of e-ink for actually (shock horror) reading books.

However, there is a tendency for original MOs to stretched to breaking point (have you seen what they are calling a netbook these days?) and there's not point in getting zealous about it. Shit happens.]]>Jan 17th 2010 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/Jan 17th 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/
Are iPods really that easy to read when it is sunny.

This product is not competing with iPods. E Ink is quite readable indoors and out.]]>Jan 17th 2010 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/Jan 17th 2010 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/
The reason I compared it with iPods is because I thought he was referring to the iSlate (mentioning what Apple will release in a month) which I assume will not use e-ink, but rather a LCD screen. If Apple is releasing an eReader (Jobs in the past has shown is dislike for the Kindle) I would be very interested in what that will offer. ]]>Jan 17th 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/

Because he said "Let's see how Apple tackles this one later this month". Unless Apple has an e-reader I do not know about, I assumed he was talking about the iTablet. I guess I originally misread the quote as inferring to th iTablet being easier to read, but he was interested in how Apple would deal with the LCD screen being read outdoors. I apologize for anybody who felt I was attacking Apple or starting a flame war.]]>Jan 17th 2010 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/Jan 17th 2010 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/
It will be the thinnest e-reader to hit the market, weighing just over a pound and sporting an 11.5" touch screen. It will also be the first product to rely on a new technology of e-paper that uses a sheet of stainless-steel foil which can be bent.

Then make it 10 to 13 inches or the size of a book when it's folded open. 6 inches diagonally is smaller than a book btw .. I am looking at some paperbacks here they are bigger than 6 inches diagonally.

I want it to be portable so I can take it on public transport or sitting around in a waiting room.. if it's going to be the same as a book, why don't I stick to books? I expect advantages.

If it's not going to be portable .. I need to carry it in a backpack (always fun at a dentists office or while waiting for a haircut) .. which means it might as well be at least a 10 inch screen. Furthermore, e-readers aren't just for reading paperback novels .. it's also for magazines and maybe even light web browsing. But we'll leave web browsing aside .. it's also for magazines.

"if it's going to be the same as a book, why don't I stick to books? I expect advantages." Well I'm pretty sure it's easier to carry an e-reader then an entire library of books so there's one advantage. It's also very easy to pick up new e-books, say as soon as you finish reading one you could purchase another and start reading it in the same sitting.]]>Jan 17th 2010 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/That's what she said!]]>Jan 17th 2010 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/Jan 17th 2010 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/17/asus-dr-570-e-reader-to-sport-6-inch-oled-color-screen-122-hour/Jan 17th 2010 2:35PM
