Yes, that is why it says DEMO.

But it is a Sports Illustrated demo. That publishing house realises the future is in digitial. Playboy don't seem to.

It really is a matter of when, not if. There are already many ereaders on the market, just it hasn't gotten to the right mix of technology, pricing and features. That is just about the change. If you don't have a plan in place already, where do you think that leaves you?

You realise that demo was made by Sports Illustrated, right? Not some 'not released tablet manufacturer'.

That demo COULD have been done by playboy and COULD have gotten the attention this video has.

It is the publisher showing how ahead of the game they are. Thinking about a product for a bit of hardware that isn't out yet, but everybody with half a brain can see it around the corner.
