I’ve yet to be bitten by the electronic book spiel and by the looks of it, the rest of humanity is hardly on fire to hop aboard on the e-reading train either.

That doesn’t stop some companies making some really interesting breakthroughs though in the e-reader market. This skinny 6.7in reader from Seiko Epson crams in a stunning 1600 x 1200 pixel resolution, which is a big deal for such a small display. The display itself measures just 3mm thick and a single battery has enough juice to display 1400 pages. Here’s some specs:

* Terminal measures 180x120mm (B6 size)
* Thickness: 3mm
* Weight: 57g
* Contrast ratio: 8:1
* Reflectivity: 43%
* Redrawing time: 0.7s
* Battery: one CR1220 button cell battery (1'400 screen redraws)

There’s no arrival date or potential price on this yet.-Martin Lynch
