Wouldn’t it be great if your Nook or Kindle were bigger and had a touchscreen like your iPhone? Well, The Skiff Reader will provide you with a big, bendy e-touchscreen to fulfill your newspaper or book needs while at the same time making you the envy of all your ebook compatriots. I know how eager you must be, but unfortunately, you won’t be able to pick up the sweet, one of a kind, little Skiff Reader from Sprint until the end of the year.
