Copia’s $99 eReader no comments
A couple of days ago the WSJ wrote about a change
of plans at Copia. Instead of offering six different ereaders (which never made any sense, but they didn’t ask me) Copia will now offer two ereaders: a 5-inch model for $99 and a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen model for $299. Both of these ereaders have LCD displays.
Actually this is not new. Copia revealed their changed strategy at least a month ago, although the Copia website is still only showing the original ereaders – I can find no mention of the two new LCD models.
Pardon my skepticism, but I’m really starting to doubt that we will ever see anything from Copia. The company is taking so long to launch their product that by the time it arrives it will be old news and irrelevant. The only interested parties will be those users – said by the WSJ to number in the hundreds – invested in the program through their participation in the beta.
