Today at the Consumer Electroinics Show in Las Vegas, Plastic Logic unveiled its QUE e-reader, declaring that it was opening up a new category, the "proReader." Aimed at business people, the QUE does what your Kindle, nook and other e-readers do, namely, allows you to read books, magazines and newspapers. But it also can download Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and other necessities for working stiffs. (Here's some engadget video from CES.) The materials can be edited on the QUE's touch screen. There will be more e-reader news at CES, and we'll keep you up to date; later in the month, Apple is expected to unveil its tablet. Some stats on the QUE:
