Researchers Demo Flippable-Page E-book Reader

holy_calamity writes "E-readers are getting better but still limit users to keyboard-style interaction. Researchers at Berkeley and Maryland Universities have changed that with a reader that has two 'pages.' The two displays can be moved like a real book's pages to leaf through a document, or detached to compare and share virtual pages. If they are folded back to create a tablet with displays on each side, you can turn it over to flip pages. A video shows it in action." You may be reminded of the promised second-generation OLPC device, which looks somewhat similar.

I don't care what anybody says. I love being bored at work.

As long as no jackasses make me listen to their shitty music by playing it to loud. But right now, they aren't so life is good.
