The Brother SV-70 is square chic

After yesterday’s square-chic iPad announcement and today’s release of the Brother SV-70 eReader we have to ask ourselves, is square the new rectangle?

This new Brother 9.7-inch 1280 x 825 resolution E-Ink screened eReader by Brother sure would like to think so. This is a followup to their previous eReader, the SV-100B which features the same dimensions. It has 100MB of internal memory, microSD slot, USB port and a battery that lasts over 80 hours. This will be a Japan-only release like Brother’s previous model and will cost a whopping 99,980 yen ($1,106 U.S.).

The SV-70 isn’t meant to be a personal use eReader, but much like the Plastic Logic QUE is geared towards business professional use. And with that base we’re not surprised if it has a business card holder in it.
