Skiff Reader is a device for reading books and newspapers. More, thinner, more flexible!

Obviously, there is no glass in the Skiff Reader design: the screen is made on the basis of metal foil according to the technology proposed by LG.
The screen size is 11.5 "(with a resolution of 1600x1200), which makes it the largest in class both in physical size and resolution. However, the device is surprisingly thin, only about 7 mm:


Content for reading is supposed to be received via the network through a special Skiff e-reading service, which will be launched for similar devices (the line that this device opens).
