Yesterday Samsung officially unveiled the E6, an eReader with a handy stylus for writing notes in your eBooks.
At the Consumer Electronics Show this year, mediabistro.com’s editorial director Chris Ariens shot that video of Samsung’s new eReader with a stylus. His commentary was skeptical: “I know, I know. You’re getting your fill of eReaders, but mediabistro’s publishing editor Jason Boog wanted me to check out the Samsung Reader, which is expected to launch sometime in 2010. As you’ve probably read, it’s the one you can write on with a stylus. But honestly, I could write on my Palm Pilot in 1999.”
eBookNewser has more details: “It’s called the E6, will cost $300, and will be available this spring. Check out eBookNewser’s exclusive video above for mediabistro.com’s editorial director Chris Ariens’ encounter with the device at CES. Samsung is taking a “page” from B&N’s Nook: B&N will be the eBook store for the device, which has a WiFi, but not 3G connection. The E6 will also have some cool extras, including an MP3 player with front-facing speakers and wireless headphones. It’ll have a 6″ E-Ink display, and will support EPub, PDF and TXT files.”
