The Skiff Reader has overtaken the Amazon Kindle DX as the largest e-reader on the market, but its size isn’t what makes the Skiff so special.
The Skiff Reader brings two new technologies to the large-scale e-reader market: a touchscreen e-ink display and “silicon thin-film-transistors on a flexible steel substrate”.
The Skiff Reader plans to come out swinging with a large 11.5-inch size and a high 1200 x 1600 pixel screen resolution.

Amazon introduced Amazon Kindle 2, latest generation of his reading device with a significantly slimmer design and longer battery life (up to 4 days with wireless on, two weeks with wireless off).
The Kindle 2 features a high-resolution 6-inch electronic paper display (600 x 800 pixel), faster page turns, a sharper greyscale screen, 2GBs of storage, and external stereo speakers and a new read-to-me feature.
