With the company behind it claiming that it is a really exceptional gadget, the Que is the first of its kind that is is being marketed to the mobile professional. With its portability, users will definitely find it easy to carry around
Some may shy away from the Que due to its hefty price tag. The WiFi 4GB model will dent the pocket by 650 bucks, and the WiFi 3G 8GB model will have you paying 150 bucks more. Why is it so dear? Similar to other electronic book readers, the Que allows the users to read their preferred books, magazines, and newspapers, but on top of these conventional features, they also can also use Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
The 4GB version can store up to 35,000 documents and the 8GB model holds up to 75,000. Finding reports, documents and presentations is easy, and only requires a few taps. With this technology, you can practically bid goodbye to a briefcase bursting with documents. This function is truly the reason why it's best suited for the traveling professional or businessman. It may even be appealing to students as well.
The Que is a sleek and sophisticated gadget, with a 10.7 monochrome screen built into a slim body. It measures 8.5 x 11 inches, the same size as a standard piece of paper, and is light in weight. It is easy to bring anywhere, tucked in one's briefcase or purse.
Undemanding on the eyes, the plastic display is very inviting and the e-ink provides pleasurable reading. The Plastic Logic Que doesn't come with a stylus, but a powerful virtual keyboard. The user can make notes and highlight crucial content in any document for future reference. The Que has a built-in a USB port, SD card slot and speaker, and isn't cluttered with excessive hardware. The sole button located on the front is the power button located at the bottom of the reader. Simply put, it's a good-looking device!
The reading enthusiast will have access to their favorite books, magazines and newspapers with the wide selection in the QUE Store.
