Tweet

Plastic Logic has officially revealed the oft-reported Plastic Logic QUE ProReader, a large format, flexible e-reader with a 10.7-inch touchscreen display.  After initial reports and teasers hit the web in October, Plastic Logic has made their QUE ProReader official today at CES 2010.

With the flurry of e-reader news at CES, the Plastic Logic QUE ProReader is a clear standout alongside the slightly larger Skiff Reader.  The QUE ProReader, however, adds new functionality to the world of e-reader devices.  The Plastic Logic QUE is controlled entirely by touch- and gesture-based input, including a touchscreen keyboard that allows its users to input text as annotations and even to send email.

The Plastic Logic QUE ProReader measures in at the familiar size of 8.5 x 11 inches, with a 10.7-inch touchscreen display.  The unit is constructed in flexible plastic, and features only one button (the “home” button) on its entire build.  The QUE ProReader can interface with the Barnes and Noble e-book store that is used on the Nook, in addition to third-party e-book and news subscription services from a star studded list of newspaper content providers.  The QUE ProReader will begin shipping in April starting at $649 for a 4GB model with WiFi or $799 for an 8GB model with WiFi and 3G connectivity.
