Plastic Logic is showing off a new device in San Diego this week. The as-yet-unnamed device continually updates wirelessly, and can store content from newspapers, magazine, books – you name it. It has a screen that is 2.5 times larger than the Kindle (it’s closest direct competition), and it only weighs about 2 ounces more than Amazon’s book reader as well. It’s even a bit thinner.

This reading device is set to go on sale next year, but there is no price or firm release date yet. The success of this kind of thing is going to depend largely on the partners they can gain, and the price point they can start at.

Let’s hope they can pull it off – the device sounds like an interesting addition to the ebook market.
