I think though that if plastic logic technology really gets off the ground and into people's hands, it'll overtake the current e-book readers simply because it seems to be more accessible for people who would find using a small device such as the kindle or Sony e-book reader, weird (and the flexibility and size makes it seem more like real paper). I think there's going to be some fierce competition in the future in this business.

Do you believe the Kindle 2.0 or Sony Reader would be good to bundle with a Plastic Logic?
Do you see the same people buying and using both, or one or the other? Do you see the same people using a Kindle, a Sony Reader, Plastic Logic? Do you see them as two competing products or do you need one for a digital newspaper and another for reading? Why would you or wouldn't you use both? Do you believe the two companies Amazon with its Kindle and Plastic Logic should partner or practice some form of cooperation or coopetition?
How would you bundle them (ie. buy a Kindle, get 10% off a Plastic Logic) or something like that. You know how Amazon sometimes bundles products, do you see them as such fierce competitors that they wouldn't bundle a Plastic Logic and a Kindle?
See the photos below.

I would think, that kindle would be a better companion to the plastic logic. The only reason I would think that is simply because I think the Kindle will turn out to be the more successful product in the end, and have more books to buy on it because of the Amazon tie-in. I think though that if plastic logic technology really gets off the ground and into people's hands, it'll overtake the current e-book readers simply because it seems to be more accessible for people who would find using a small device such as the kindle or Sony e-book reader, weird (and the flexibility and size makes it seem more like real paper).

Interesting thoughts, but do you believe these two devices could exist together, or be bundled in some way? How would you bundle them (ie. buy a Kindle, get 10% off a Plastic Logic) or something like that. You know how Amazon sometimes bundles products, do you see them as such fierce competitors that they wouldn't bundle a Plastic Logic and a Kindle?

No I don't think these two devices could co-exist in the long term, unless Amazon bought the rights to the Plastic Logic. If Amazon owned both devices, then I could see them co-existing, and them being bundled in 1 package online, (probably a 15% off if you buy both).
