Plastic Logic Reader supported by the newspaper

Despite the fact that the Plastic Logic Reader e-reader announced last year will be released no earlier than 2010, its manufacturer has already concluded agreements with several publishing houses. According to the contract, publishers will support Plastic Logic Reader content.


The main difference between the company Plastic Logic and its analogs (for example, Sony Readers and Amazon Kindle) is the size of the screen. The display diagonal of this reader is 10.7 inches. Of course, on this screen to perceive magazine and newspaper pages will be more familiar. That is why Plastic Logic managed to persuade Hearst, IDG, Hachette Filipacchi, Playboy Enterprises and Ziff Davis to distribute electronic content for newspapers and magazines, including Financial Times, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, USA Today, Washigton Post, etc.

The cost of subscription to digital versions of magazines and newspapers has not yet been announced. And the price of Plastic Logic Reader is also not known.

Considering the tough competition on the not so big market of devices for reading electronic books, the course of cooperation with publishing houses and promotion of Plastic Logic Reader as a device not only for reading books but also for newspapers, as well as acquaintance with business correspondence, seems quite reasonable. Because Plastic Logic has all the chances alone to occupy a whole, yet new, but I am sure that in the future a very promising niche.
