Battery lasts days instead of hours
Uses an electrophorescent monochrome display sourced from E Ink Corp.
Electronic paper offers a bright, high-contrast, thin, lightweight display
technology that remains legible under "any lighting condition" -- much like
newsprint. Once an image has been "printed," no power is needed to hold it,
reducing energy requirements by 99 percent compared to LCDs, E Ink claims.
(Main power use is only when moving between pages)

QUE stands out in a crowd because it’s a business reader, but it’s
also unique for its shatterproof plastic display. All other current
eReader devices use rigid panes of glass
Millions of plastic transistors rather than more costly silicon, on
a flexible substrate
Makes it lighter, more flexible, & more cost efficient than a glass
substrate
Largest touchscreen among eReaders
Wider array of documents supported focusing on business users
while still being able to view full books
Expanding on the eReader category, which to date has focused
on leisure reading devices and casual users
