Everyone’s buzzing about the Silicon Valley start-up that’s supposedly developing the next big thing for the newspaper and magazine industry—a 8.5-by-11-inch Kindle-type touchscreen e-reader that will allow you to view and read newspapers and magazines from anywhere (through a wireless network). Made entirely of plastic—and appropriately named Plastic Logic—the first models aren’t expected to reach consumers until 2010, and will display ‘zines and ‘papers in standard black and white. Expect to wait longer for your magazine spreads to hit the e-reader’s screen in full, glorious color. Publishing houses hoping to have their content on the Plastic Logic reader have to partner with the company so their articles will be available to consumers through the Plastic Logic Content Store (think iTunes, but for articles). Also, check out Time magazine’s recent article on the device, and yesterday’s article in The New York Observer.

This is a great idea a eReader for news papers and magzines,
I can get my favorire news paper and magazine to read any where
I love it.
My only questions are the price ot the mag eReader and the cost of the
magazines and news papers.
Also I hope they carry a large line both .
Please let me know when its avalble and where to buy it thank you.
