PC Magazine have published a review of the Spring Design Alex eReader. 'Measuring 8.9 by 4.7 by 0.4 inches (HWD), the 11-ounce Alex is constructed of matte beige plastic, and feels a little flimsy when compared with the Barnes and Noble Nook, which features glossy plastic and a comfortable, soft touch back panel. In the box you'll find a protective cover, a mini USB cable and AC adapter, a set of wired stereo earbuds, and a Quick Start manual. The 6-inch electronic paper display sports 600-by-800-pixel resolution. While the e-ink screen on the Alex is capable of displaying 16 shades of grey like the Kindle, Nook, and the Sony Reader Daily Edition ($399.99, ), for now the device's OS can only display eight shades. Still, fonts look crisp and are easily readable on the monochrome screen.'
