New Reader, Skiff, Outshines Nook and Kindle
This new e-reader is definitely going to turn some heads. It feels like I’m writing a lot about tablets and touch devices and today is no different. It’s time for the Kindle and Nook to take a back seat to this amazing piece of viewing technology which functions as a full fledged e-reader touting a screen size of 11.5 inches with a resolution of 1200 x 1600. This reader is not for the feint of heart.
Unlike the past e-readers, including the Nook and Kindle, the Skiff Reader uses LG’s “Metal Foil” e-paper technology to bring you crystal clarity that is unparallel in readers of this size. Both the Nook and Kindle use a glass touch surface which makes it much for fragile and susceptible to breaking. This added bonus makes it much more travel friendly and a great reader option for the clumsy.
The device is expected to be sold via Sprint on their 3G network. The device which sports the wi-fi connectivity of its predecessors will also have the ability to download from a virtual store. The reader also offers benefits for publishers looking to put content on the reader. You can find information on publisher benefits here.
Skiff Reader sports an 11.5 in. touch surface.

The copy editor in me picked this up and had to let you know
: It is “faint” (of heart), not “feint”, which is typically used in when describing a boxing fight.
P.S. Don’t hate me too much
Everything you need for your kindle!
These readers are killing the printing biz!
