Spring Design's Alex e-reader has two screens; one is a 6-inch traditional electronic paper display, and the other is a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen. The device runs a version of Google's Android OS; you can perform system functions with the LCD screen then turn it off to save power when you're ready to kick back and read something on EPD display.
The Alex also has Marvell's ARMADA 166E chip, which promises three times the display animation speed that you get on older e-readers.
In November of 2009 Spring Design sued Barnes & Noble saying that the bookseller's Nook e-reader stole design elements from the Alex. The lawsuit is still in progress.
