The (potentially) future eBook reader for comics: XO-2?
Here’s a teaser from the article over on Laptop Magazine website:
“Negroponte didn’t share many details about the XO-2’s hardware, but the new system has two touch-sensitive displays. As you can see from the video and the pictures, the XO-2 will be much smaller than the original machine (half the size, according to the press release) and will have a foldable e-book form factor. “The next generation laptop should be a book,” Negroponte said.”
If something like this comes to market (which I have no doubt it will sooner rather than later) AND it’s reasonably priced… yeah, I can see this being a new distribution channel for comics, web comics, and graphic novels.
Thoughts?
