Perhaps the most revolutionary and curious electronic book that we can find in the market is the Papyre 6.S Alex developed and marketed by the Spanish company Grammata which has the particularity of having two screens. One for electronic ink where we can read our eBooks and another of the LCD type that will allow us to surf the net, view photos or even movies.
The device was launched with high hopes of attracting those users who are looking for a hybrid between a tablet and an e-book but it has never met expectations and its sales have been very poor, even now when its price has been substantially lowered.
If we quickly take a look at its main characteristics we can realize that we are facing a mid-range device pulling high but with great problems, which may have been the causes that have not made it succeed in the market.
The main features of the Papyre 6.S Alex are:
- Size: 22,5x12x1 centimeters
- Weight :: 310 grams
- Screen: They have two screens, one of electronic ink with 16 gray levels with a resolution of 600 × 800 pixels and the other 3.5-inch LCD, a resolution of 320 × 480, with a 16-bit color and fully tactile
- Memoria interna: 2 Gigs, expandable via microSD card

- Files with DRM: Adobe Digital Edition

- Operating system: Android 1.5
Despite being a revolutionary device and why not say it a bit strange thanks to the Papyre 6.S Alex You can perform actions that cannot be done with other e-books. For example, one of the interesting uses of the two screens is when looking for anything on the Internet since we can search for it on the touch screen and send it to the electronic ink screen to read it without tiring our eyes. Another good example of using the second screen will be to take notes quickly, easily and above all without having to stop reading or take your eyes off the eBook we are reading.
El Papyre 6.S Alex price is definitely one of the positive points of this device since it has been greatly reduced from the one it had in its beginnings and right now it can be purchased on the official website of Grammata at a price of $99, which makes it a very attractive device.
That if you study all its characteristics very well, watch its weight and especially think very well if this device is really what you are looking for, sometimes hybrids may seem the ideal solution but very rarely do they leave anyone happy because in the end you will not have a e-books, not a tablet.

Didn't the American Nook withdraw a similar model due to lack of sales?
If you removed it and the path of this Papyre 6.S Alex may be similar even if it is a great device
AND I PASS MY FINGER THROUGH THAT SCREEN AND NO ICON MOVES I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH CHANGING THE SCREEN TO ENTER ANY BOOK. WHAT I CAN DO.
