The new device uses the Kindle program for PCs that already have Amazon, but it eliminates the advantages of electronic ink (not reflected and does not tire the view) that has the popular book reader. However, Slate retains the ability to rotate the screen orientation and a horizontal text and the underline and use text-to voice.

In return, Slate promises a more versatile device, which also serves to connect to the Internet and watch videos and photos. And as work on Windows 7, will have the ability, at least one netbook.

The first units, for which no price has been announced, will go on sale throughout the year by the hand of HP and Archos, which already has similar products for operating system Android, from Google.

As the software used by Amazon, the Slate will download books directly from the huge library of Internet, and view them in full color (if it exists and the book), but Amazon and formats in PDF, if not change the program specifications between now and launch.

The company also announced a line of interactive textbooks and underlined links to videos based on their programs that will certainly be more appropriate for these devices.
