New E-Newspaper Reader Echoes Look of the Paper

The electronic newspaper, a large portable screen that is constantly
updated with the latest news, has been a prop in science fiction for
ages. It also figures in the dreams of newspaper publishers struggling
with rising production and delivery costs, lower circulation and
decreased ad revenue from their paper product.

While the dream device remains on the drawing board, Plastic Logic
will introduce publicly on Monday its version of an electronic
newspaper reader: a lightweight plastic screen that mimics the look —
but not the feel — of a printed newspaper.
