It is designed with the latest and largest E Ink e-paper screen

Earlier this week, there was a report about E Ink designing an electronic paper display with a diagonal of 13.3 inches.

Now, Sony has posted a video of an e-reader equipped with one of those things. Or rather DigInfo posted a video of the device on YouTube.

Clearly, the e-reader is the result of a collaboration between Sony and E Ink.

Users can scrawl things on it, make annotation on books, leave highlights over important or particularly interesting paragraphs, etc.

Sadly, the software seems to be a bit slow, or at least not as responsive and as thorough as one might like.

Then again, the A4 sheet-sized electronic item doesn't need to be too elaborate and styled. It is, after all, made for educational pursuits, to be used in schools. Besides, it's only a prototype for now.
