Plastic Logic e-ink reader looks interesting

Plastic Logic’s new electronic document reader looks interesting. I’ve had a Kindle now since around May or so, and I have to admit I really like the convenience of the device.  It’s become my primary reading medium; the only printed material I seem to read these days are magazines that aren’t available on the Kindle and technology manuals (I’m leaning Cocoa now, and I couldn’t imagine browsing a manual and examining code through an e-book reader; way too painful). But there is room for improvement, and competition among hardware vendors is a good thing for driving the field forward.  I’m interested to see what Amazon comes out with for their hardware refresh as well; the latest rumors I heard were next year.

The New York Times has more on the Plastic Logic reader.
