Papyrus E-Book replaces paper, pen, classrooms…
We haven’t covered many e-book products but this Papyrus concept surfaced recently and compared to most its a bit special. This reader from Green Grass is aimed at replacing student notebooks no-less and its hoped it will cost less than $100 despite packing an E-Ink screen and network facilities.
The Papyrus relies on a stylus from written input and uses hand-writing recognition software. Users can also tag content displayed on the device which have the same effect as on social networking sites such as Facebook and Bebo. The facilities offered by the Papyrus aiim to cover the following real-world objects:
- Textbooks
- Notebooks
- Calculator
- Blackboard
The battery life of thirty hours or so means that the Papyrus has a useful battery life of three days or so between charges thanks to the use of the E-Ink low-powered screen.
Don’t expect to see the Papyrus in stores in the near future but rather as a sign of things to come.
