CyberMouse Friday, March 26, 2004: NEW E-BOOK READER USES DIGITAL PAPER TECHNOLOGY Sony, Philips and digital paper pioneer E-Ink are launching an electronic book reader called Librié, which is the size of a paperback book and can hold 500 texts in its memory. The display has a resolution of 170 pixels per inch -- about the same quality as a newspaper, says E-Ink. The Librié weighs about 300g (about 10.5 ounces), including four AAA batteries and a front cover. The device uses battery power only when text is refreshed, which means it should be able to display about 10,000 pages before it needs its batteries changed. The Librié is 13mm (about half an inch) thick and its screen measures 15cm (about 6 inches) diagonally. It's due to go on sale in Japan in late April for $375.
