The US newspaper and magazine company Hearst Corp is to launch a large-format wireless e-reader this year. It hopes can do for periodicals, such as its own Cosmopolitan and Esquire, what Amazon's Kindle is doing for books.
Its new device is said to suited to the reading and advertising requirements of both newspapers and magazines. Hearst executive Kenneth Bronfin said: "I can't tell you the details of what we are doing, but I... expect these devices will be a big part of our future." (Via Fortune)
