Skiff, LLC and Sprint just announced on January 4th that the Skiff Reader will be previewed at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. The Skiff reader is the first e-reader for newspapers and magazines – much larger than the Kindle at 11.5 inches and a 1600×1200 resolution, but only a quarter of an inch thick. It only weighs a little over a pond and can last, on average, over a week of use between charges. The device will connect to the Skiff digital store via Wi-Fi and Sprint’s 3G network and can be used for not only newspapers and magazines, but books, blogs and other content as well from multiple publishers. It is also durable since it is made out of a flexible sheet of stainless-steel foil instead of glass, and can actually bend a fair amount without damage.
