A new e-reader from Plastic Logic has a much bigger screen than the Sony Reader or the Amazon Kindle--8.5 by 11 inches. The screen's backplane is plastic instead of glass, with circuitry deposited using Plastic Logic's proprietary process, so it doesn't require much protection: the device is only about a quarter-inch thick. The screen itself is plastic, too, which makes it extremely durable, and it's touch sensitive: the user turns the page by swiping the screen with a finger.
