The world's largest bookseller, Barnes & Noble, Inc. (B&N) will be selling the first proReader designed for business professionals –QUE. This distribution agreement was announced by B&N marking an expansion of relationship with Plastic Logic.

Earlier this year, Plastic Logic and B&N entered in a strategic partnership through which Barnes & Noble will power the online store for QUE, which is slated to launch in 2010. “QUE will also be featured near the recently announced nook, the Barnes & Noble eBook reader, on free-standing displays with signage offering Barnes & Noble customers’ choice based on their reading needs,” says the release by the company.

QUE is the first eReader designed to support the lifestyle of modern business professionals. More than an eReader, QUE means business. QUE is scheduled to make its debut on January 7, 2010 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (Central Hall of Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth 11840),

"We are very excited to name Barnes & Noble as our first retail distribution partner and to have QUE featured prominently in its stores," said Richard Archuleta, CEO of Plastic Logic. "QUE was designed from the ground up as a tool for busy business professionals, expanding the eReader market as it’s first and only proReader."

QUE provides access to a file cabinet's worth of documents, ranging from business and professional newspapers, periodicals and books - with over 1 million eBooks available through the QUE store, powered by Barnes & Noble.� In the formats, QUE supports the document formats business users need (including PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel documents and more).

The proReader device is extra thin, lightweight and wireless-enabled. It is the size of an 8.5 x 11 inch pad of paper, about a 1/3 inch thick, and weighs less than many periodicals.

Besides, QUE stands out in a crowd because it's a business reader, but it's also unique for its shatterproof plastic display, which is based on Plastic Logic's pioneering plastic electronics technology.� QUE also distinguishes itself with the largest touchscreen in the industry, an intuitive touchscreen user interface, and powerful tools for interacting with and managing a range of content.
