The E-Reader Design Invitational

The folks at the industrial design site Core77 asked its users to submit design prototypes for e-readers.

The challenge:
“Love it or hate it, Amazon’s Kindle Reader has people talking about digital reading devices. No matter what side of the fence you are on, here’s your chance to show the world your vision of the perfect Digital eBook. We want you to take an hour out of your day to design the perfect Digital eBook.”

The results are pretty impressive. Here two examples of the over 50 entries received. The winner will receive a $125 NIKE gift certificate. I suspect the opportunities for a larger payout for some of the entries is entirely possible.
