Alex, I'll take e-readers for $500.


Another e-reader that’s more than an e-reader. Made by Spring Design, the Alex has an e-ink display and an LCD display. On the smaller screen, you can surf the web, while reading Thomas Pynchon on the e-ink display (Oh wait. No Thomas Pynchon for the e-readers! Why not? If we’re gonna talk about techo-paranoia, let’s get Pynchon into the mix. Good thing we have DeLillo in e-ink.). Hell, you can even read and watch a movie at the same time. It’s just like studying for finals, except now you can do it anywhere.

This e-reader can do things that the Kindle and Nook can’t, but that iPad is looming on the horizon.
