Taking a leaf from Asus’ dual screen e-book reader, Spring Design has gone a stride forward by doing this e-book reader and tablet hybrid. The Alex reader, as they call this Duet Navigator device, features a 6-inch monochrome electronic paper display on top and a 3.5-inch color LCD display on the bottom. Combining the best from both technologies, Alex runs Google Android, allowing the user to browse the web either through Wi-Fi or 3G.
The web and multimedia content can be enjoyed on the LCD display, while for prolonged readings the content can be transferred or saved to be read on the electronic paper display. Alex makes provision for an SD card slot so the storage is no issue here, while the headphone jack and built-in speakers make the content more exciting. Alex can be expected by the end of the year but we have no word on price yet, and even we wanted to know it.
