Participants were impressed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with the Plastic Logic Que (pronounced “Q”) digital ebook reader. In partnership with AT & T 3G network as the broadband provider, the Que has WiFi connectivity. With manufacturers claiming that it is a truly exceptional device, the Que is the first of its kind that is is said to be the perfect companion for the active professional. With its portability, users will certainly find it convenient to carry about

Some may have second thoughts about getting the Que due to its steep price tag. The WiFi 4GB model will dent the pocket by 650 bucks, while the WiFi 3G 8GB model will have you paying 150 bucks more. Why is it so dear? Following suit with other digital ereaders, the Que enables the users to read their preferred books, magazines, and newspapers, but in addition to these traditional features, they also can also use Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

The 4GB model can hold up to 35,000 documents and the 8GB model holds as many as 75,000. Finding reports, files and presentations is easy, and only calls for a few taps. With this technology, it’s possible bid goodbye to a briefcase bursting with documents. This function is truly the reason why it’s most effective for the traveling professional or businessman. It may even be appealing to students as well.

The Que is a sleek and fine gadget, equipped with a 10.7 monochrome screen built into a thin body. It measures 8.5 x 11 inches, similar in size as an ordinary piece of paper, and is light in weight. It is easy to bring anywhere, tucked in one’s briefcase or purse.

Stress-free on the eyes, the plastic display is very enticing and the e-ink provides pleasurable reading. The Plastic Logic Que doesn’t come with a stylus, but a sensitive virtual keyboard. The user can take notes and highlight crucial passage in any document for future reference. The Que has a built-in a USB port, SD card slot and speaker, and isn’t cluttered with excessive hardware. The sole button located on the front is the power button located at the bottom of the reader. In short, it looks good!

The reading enthusiast will have access to their favorite books, magazines and newspapers with the wide selection in the QUE Store. Users can enjoy as well their daily newspaper over breakfast, steal a quick glance at their presentation even in the middle of a meeting, and enjoy accessible information at all times. Consumers can get their hands on the Plastic Logic Que from local retailers in mid-March, or pre-order it at the Que site.
