Sony Debuts ‘Electronic Ink’ With Librie

The Librie is the first major consumer product to feature a long-in-the-works display technology that is designed to replace printed words on paper - so-called electronic ink.

The Associated Press has reviewed Sony’s new Librie e-book reader, a 7-ounce device that measures 8-inches by 5-inches and offers an 800×600 pixel resolution.

According to the article, the LIbrie “fits in your hand much like a paperback and runs on four AAA batteries that last for 10,000 page turns. Except for being slightly gray instead of white, the display has no backlight and the characters don’t fade even in a bath of reflected light or with the reader tilted an angle.”
