The new model is poised to revive the company's early successes and gains on their original reader models. With that, the only way for Amazon's competitors to make an attack to its highly anticipated KindleDX reader is by advancing their ebook reader's features. PlasticLogic has recently introduced its big-screen e-reader at the DEMO technology convention; seems like the model's plan of attack is strategically based on Amazon Kindle's design flaws. For one thing, the Plastic Logic Reader features a sleeker looking and technologically advanced ebook screen technology. Even if PlasticLogic is yet to release their reader model in early 2010, it has already gained the support of some notable institutions such as Pearson PLC's (PSO) Financial Times and Barnes & Noble Inc.'s Fictionwise.com, which are two of main players in ebook and newspaper and magazine content retail. The ideal competitor for Amazon's Kindle DX reader would be the one that will challenge the model in launching new reader features, managing content beyond ebooks, dominating the US as well as international market and establishing better relations among publishers. Seems like PlasticLogic answers to the challenging role of challenging Amazon Kindle DX's lead and popularity to the market. Now, let's start the head to head battle of ebook reader features. Plastic Logic Reader has a 10.5 x 11.5-inch wide screen, while KindleDX has a 9.7-inch wide screen. Kindle has keyboard, home, menu, next page and previous page buttons with a 5-way controller; Plastic Logic features touch screen that is complemented with gesture-based user interface. When it comes to the operating systems, Kindle is Linux based while PlasticLogic is WinCE supported. When it comes to the hardware, Kindle DX is generally more bulky and heavier to Plastic Logic Reader's 8.5x11x.028inch dimensions and 12-ounce weight. Kindle regains its lead with its built-in web browsing and free internet via WhisperNet feature. Plastic Logic has not yet disclosed details of its web browsing feature. When it comes to memory, PlasticLogic gives 6GB to Kindle DX's 3.33 GB built-in memory. While Amazon Kindle uses E-Ink technology in all its readers display, Plastic Logic uses its own proprietary display technology, which gave its reader a no glass, flexible and unbreakable ebook reader display feature. KindleDX rallies the New York Times, Washington Post and Amazon.com as its major content partners while Plastic Logic Reader is backed up by the Financial Times, USA today, Fictionwise.com and Ingram Digital as its content partners. Amazon's Kindle DX is bound to be released in time for summer 2009 while the PlasticLogic is yet to be released early next year. Clearly, Amazon KindleDX holds a few clear advantages. While consumers can now preorder the Kindle DX at Amazon.com, Plastic Logic Reader is still under production. With the notably advanced features of the PlasticLogic Reader, its cost is expected to be higher that Kindle DX's $489 cost. Also, Amazon's WhisperNet free wireless internet is a huge
advantage. At this point, Plastic Logic Reader delivers quite a challenge to the existing features of Kindle DX. However, Amazon KindleDX will sure give it a tough time keeping up with the success momentum set by Amazon's earlier successes with its original ebook reader models.
