RE: Bendable E-reader

The Kindle's display is bendable too - it's just that it is bonded to a sheet of thicker plastic or glass to keep it flat.

The problem with a bendable e-reader is where to put the battery...

Because you could slip it into the back pocket of a pair of jeans and sit on it without fear of it breaking.

RE: Bendable E-reader

I can imagine putting one of these in my handbag and then taking it out at the end of the day to find it covered in fluff, dust, bits of sweets and biscuit crumbs, with a bus ticket somehow managing to get stuck to it and generally looking really scabby and horrible.

Yes, my handbag really is that messy.

RE: Bendable E-reader

This is definitely the future. Imagine only ever owning one physical newspaper, made from display plastic - and the daily papers are downloaded to it! And finally those people who moan about only wanting to read 'real books where you can turn the pages' will have ebooks with turnable pages. I'm only surprised to see this already available, I thought it was a few years away!

I think it really needs to have two separate pages so it can be completely folded in the middle. That way it could be much more workable and the screens would protect themselves from dust etc.

To me though it would be very easy to lose in a pile of paperwork.

RE: Bendable E-reader

I don't know if my varifocals would cope with the bendy text! But I like the sound of it as far as sturdiness is concerned. I've dropped my Kindle once or twice but it has survived so far. And one of the cats persists in walking over it. This new one sounds better able to stand up to that kind of thing.
