Brother Japan have announced a “document reader”, the SV-100B, intended for displaying ebooks and technical documentation.  The Brother SV-100B, unlike other ebook readers like the Amazon Kindle 2 or Pixelar E-Reader, has an LCD rather than e-ink display, measuring 9.7-inches and running at 1,200 x 825 150dpi resolution.

Despite not using the power-frugal e-ink, the SV-100B still manages 83hrs of battery life from a single charge.  You can also swap out the battery for a second one, should you really need extended runtime.  While there’s no internal storage, you can fit 10,000 A4 pages on the included 2GB microSD card.
