Here's their rap on it:

The Skiff Reader, the first e-reader to integrate the upcoming Skiff Service, is a state-of-the-art device that is simple and easy-to-use. Our innovations include:
  • Largest e-paper display › More viewing area for a richer reading experience.
  • Thinnest e-reading device › Remarkably sleek. Easy to hold, use and carry.
  • Most durable e-reader › First-of-its-kind metal-foil display (eliminating the fragility of glass). A magnesium housing. An incredibly sturdy device.
  • Highest display resolution › Four times as many pixels as most e-book readers, for more immersive reading.
  • Full touch screen › For intuitive content selection and navigation. Instant page turns with the swipe of a finger.
  • Extraordinary battery life › Read for a week between charges.
