    Upon reading the title I thought "Oh, I doubt that. Upon seeing the pictures, yeah, I don't know what they thought they were doing. #nookvsalex

    Yeah, our dear friends at that other blog smelled this one coming when Alex first dropped. Its announcement was flung together, perhaps not unlike its current patent applications, to beat the Nook's reveal. [www.engadget.com] #nookvsalex

    @cardboredbox: That was my initial thought too. As long as there is no injunction before the Nook goes on sale I'm good. #nookvsalex

    From a outright design perspective, I'd take the nook over alex's ereader #nookvsalex

    I don’t think this is the first flexible ebook reader – there have been a few prototypes, most notably the Readius. Maybe it’s the first color one though. Either way, it’s not like it really sounds like the flexibility is a feature – it’s just bendy because it’s so thin. Bend it too far and it sounds like it will break.

    @Shevonne A Polastre: Durability. It's not so much that you want to bend it but that if it does flex a bit, it won't crack. #bridgestoneflexibleebookreader

    So do you have to rotate the display every so many thousand GB or just stick a penny in a slot and if you can see the top of Lincoln's head then it is time for a new unit. Can I get this in a white wall ? #bridgestoneflexibleebookreader

    It is ugly, but the concept is very good. Dedicated ebooks are not the answer, if I am going to carry around something as big as an ebook, I want it to do more than just display a book. Until we get colour screens as crisp as an ebook, these hybridized transitional forms are the next best thing. #entourageedge

    Personally I think the idea is great. I'm not sure I would call the thing hideous but it certainly use some work. Why use such a thick and chunky bezel? Whats with that hinge? Is is functional ie; you can use the screens back to back so you can see one at-a-time is desired? or is it simply a misguided design statement?

    I say thin up that bezel, and ditch the white/grey color scheme/laMe Name and you might have a pretty nice piece of hardware. #entourageedge

    @Bertone77: Click the link and you'll see that the hinge does in fact let you use it back to back so you can see one at a time, and there are four colors available, two different blues, and a red, not just the white/grey.

    This whole thread makes me laugh.

    Resembles a dating service where everyone wants to get a partner to have some sex.

    I love it :P.

    @uRbAnlP: Yeah, it's hilarious. And you can't even see all the unapproved users that are doing the exact same thing, except there are about as many, so it's probably double what you see.
