Taiwan firms display e-readers at computer show

Taiwanese electronics firms displayed e-readers at an industry show Tuesday, with one maker unveiling a lightweight model that can display a full magazine page in color.The color model, developed by Delta Electronics Inc. and expected to go on sale by December stood out among a number of monochrome e-readers at the Computex Show in Taiwan.Named e-Magazine, the model uses particle-based technologies that Delta has developed in collaboration with Japans Bridgestone Corp., in contrast with ink-based technologies available in the market.The 13-inch display would allow users to read a magazine page by page without scrolling it up and down like the smaller sized e-readers on the market. E-Magazine, about half the weight of Apple Inc.s iPad, is made especially for professionals to read magazines or documents with color charts, said Delta executive Hui Lee.
