A Look at Hearst's 'Skiff' E-Reader
Skiff LLC, a company quietly incubated within Hearst's Interactive Media unit, on Monday offered a first glimpse of its eponymous reader at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The Skiff Reader features an installed e-reader service and access to a digital store where consumers can wirelessly buy their newspaper and magazine content. The device is a quarter-inch thick with an 11.5-inch screen.
A spokesperson for the company declined to reveal pricing for the device and content, but said that content from "multiple partners" would be available when the Skiff store goes live later this year.
The company, by the way, is touting the device as the "first e-reader optimized for newspaper and magazine content," presenting a strange wrinkle in the plans of Next Issue Media, the big-publisher joint venture which includes Hearst among its five stakeholders.
"The Skiff Reader's big screen will showcase print media in compelling new ways. This is consistent with Skiff's focus on delivering enhanced reading experiences that engage consumers, publishers and advertisers," said Skiff president Gilbert Fuchsberg in a statement reminiscent of Next Issue Media's own plans for its reader and Web-based storefront service—both of which have yet to be named.
