Details for the device include a 13.3-inch display that displays full-screen views of letter-sized documents in the PDF format; touch panel, stylus, high contrast display (1200 x 1600 dots), 16-level grayscale incorporating "E Ink Mobius" technology from E Ink Corporation.

The system of the Digital Paper seamlessly integrates with wireless networking. What this means is that documents can be uploaded to a server and then distributed amongst those who need to use it. For example, call tests can be distributed to the students using an integrated system with the device. The device will be available in May and will retail for around $1,100.
