LGF Reader have to see this! The Skiff Reader

Review of the Skiff Reader

Skiff’s killer features are -

1. The largest eReader display – The screen is 11.5 inches diagonal (that’s 29.21 cm) and considerably bigger than the 9.7″ Kindle DX screen. It’s also bigger than the screen of the Plastic Logic Que.
2. The thinnest eReader – An impressive 0.27 inches (0.68 cm).
3. Extremely durable – There’s a metal foil backplane for the eInk which means no cracking or shattering. The housing is magnesium adding to the sturdiness.
4. Very high screen resolution – Hearst claim the screen has 4 times as many pixels as most ebook readers. It’s 1200 by 1600 pixels which is really good and there are 174 pixels per inch.
5. Full touch screen - Supports both finger and stylus operation.
6. Long battery life – 1 week battery life. They do say that this assumes periodic wireless use and that the recharging time is 2-3 hours.
