Plastic Logic's Que proReader: the next E-Reader King?

We have seen the rise of e-book readers last year. Perhaps the most famous of them all is the Kindle. Several versions of the Kindle have been released last year.

But this year, we are about to see another e-book reader that will be launched. It is QUE proReader from Plastic Logic. Is this going to be the one to put an end to the reign of Kindle? Maybe not. But the Que proReader is something worth looking at with its features.

QUE proReader is primarily aimed for businessmen. As a matter of fact, it looks more business-like than any other e-book reader in the market today. It is not like some teenager would be carrying it around and use it for leisurely reading novels. 

It is the size of a pad paper (8.5 in. X 11 in.) but only a third of an inch thick (or thin). It has a 10.7 in touch screen. It also has the ability to connect through Wi-fi and 3G networks, in addition to its Bluetooth which increases its connectivity.

With its large screen, it is definetely going to be very easy to browse through e-books and other documents, like Word, Excel and Powerpoint (these are supported).

The price is... well, it is something fit for a businessman. Currently, its 4GB version is priced at $649 (with Wi-fi and bluetooth connectivity + USB, but without 3G), and its 8GB version (this one has 3G connectivity) is priced at $799!

The question is: With the Que proReader being primarily aimed for businessmen, are businessmen really going for it when they can simply purchase a decent laptop computer at the price of the 8GB version of the Que proReader? We all have to keep an eye on how this gadget does in the market this year. It is scheduled to be released this coming April.
