The Skiff Reader e-reader uses a metal foil display service, not glass.
Sprint and Skiff will also launch a Skiff Store, where users will be able to find more digital content.
Touted as the “first e-reader optimized for newspaper and magazine content”, as well as the first to use LG Display’s “metal foil” e-paper technology, the Skiff Reader will use Sprint’s 3G network and also can use a Wi-Fi connection.
The Skiff Reader also features Wi-Fi, a 11.5 inch, 1200 x 1600 pixels touchscreen display, built-in speaker, 3.5mm headset jack, and USB 2.0.
Books, magazines, newspapers, personal and work documents, and other types of digital content can be stored on the Skiff Reader thanks to its 4GB internal memory (expandable with a MicroSD card).
The Skiff Reader, the initial dedicated device to integrate the upcoming Skiff e-reading service, is about a quarter-inch in overall height and clearly is the thinnest e-reader yet produced by any supplier.
The device uses a full touch-screen and weighs just over one pound.
The Skiff Reader's flexibility is based on its construction from a thin, flexible sheet of stainless-steel foil, not glass.
