Spring Design Dual-Screen Alex e-Book Reader Announced — Yes, It Does Exist
The rumor of an e-book reader with a typical e-Ink screen that also had a small color touchscreen for navigation and content display created a stir in the digital book world. Such a device could easily be leveraged by Barnes & Noble for a dedicated e-book reader tailored for book shopping on the device.
The Spring Design Alex runs the Google Android OS and has a 6-inch e-Ink screen for displaying book content. The secondary screen is a 3.5-inch color touchscreen that can display multimedia content, and aid in navigating through both the reader and online content as Alex has 3G (EVDO/CDMA/GSM) integrated into the device. The reader will have full browsing capabilities due to the Android OS, supporting bookmarks, and full-featured web surfing. This includes the ability to cache web content for later reading on the e-Ink display.
