Roll-up e-reader launch on hold

Apparently Polymer Vision’s “Readius” is ready for launch but stalled because of financial difficulties. The device has a five-inch monochrome display which can be rolled up into a package about the size of a cellphone.

Intriguing. It also has built-in 3.5-G wireless data connectivity and a microSD card slot to accommodate additional memory. But can it compete with the Kindle and Sony E-Reader?

Here’s more info, if you’re interested.
