The Dual Screen ebook reader is likely to display stuff in full color and bring colorful book reading pleasures back to life. While one side of the ebook reader can be used for reading your favorite novels or office documents, the other side of the panel can be employed for basic web surfing and the on screen keyboard on the touch screen cements the fact.

The Asus ebook reader will also have an integrated mic and a webcam for using applications like Skype.
