E reader in high resolution

You have yet to be bitten by the electronic book spiel and by the looks of it, the rest of humanity is hardly on fire to hop aboard on the e-reading train either.



That doesn’t stop some companies making some really interesting breakthroughs though in the e-reader market. This skinny 6.7in reader from Seiko Epson crams in a stunning 1600 x 1200 pixel resolution, which is a big deal for such a small display. The display itself measures just 3mm thick and a single battery has enough juice to display 1400 pages. Here’s some specs:

• Terminal measures 180x120mm (B6 size)
  
• Thickness: 3mm
  
• Weight: 57g
  
• Contrast ratio: 8:1
  
• Reflectivity: 43%
  
• Redrawing time: 0.7s
  
• Battery: one CR1220 button cell battery (1'400 screen redraws)
