The world is finally going green with several eBook manufacturers joining the “Go Green” bandwagon. Amazon Kindle being the pioneer is obviously the de-facto standard when it comes to comparison.

It is optimized for magazines and newspapers and features a full touch-screen UI. Skiff has also partnered with Sprint to provide 3G connectivity. Amazon, are you listening?

The device does seem to be a strong contender for the Kindle. “The Skiff Reader will feature the Skiff service and digital store, allowing consumers to wirelessly purchase and access a wide variety of newspapers, magazines, books, blogs and other content from multiple publishers. Newspaper and magazine content delivered by Skiff will feature visually appealing layouts, high-resolution graphics, rich typography and dynamic updates…”. What else would you need?
