I read, therefore I love.

Spring Design pioneered the world's first dual screen electronic reader in which a single device seamlessly manages two distinct types of displays. ReadMate™ is the patented technology that enabled such functionalities. ReadMate is versatile and lets you read more content and interact with more applications. Spring Design was recently granted a patent that is an important building block of the ReadMate technology. It is also an essential piece of the IP portfolio that Barnes & Noble licensed from Spring Design. Spring Design is continuing to improve the technology to enable next generation electronic reader products by partnership with content vendors, application vendors and device manufacturers.
