Samsung's new eReader - the E6.
Samsung has announced its first entry to the e-book reader market and it will go through Barnes & Noble, complementing the bookstore chain's own Nook device. The E6 will go on sale for under $300. Samsung's device doesn't look like the typical modern e-reader. It goes more for an old-school PDA style. It even has a stylus-activated touch-screen, MP3 player, and digital notepad and calendar.
The E6 has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity (for wireless audio transmission). Additionally, like the Nook, users will be able to share selected books with one another. For example, person A, with a Nook, will be able to send a book to person B, with an E6, which will be accessible on person B's device for 14 days.
