Samsung has announced that it would be releasing its slider eReader this spring. Samsung E6 would be released in partnership with Barns and Noble. The Barns and Noble partnership would give E6 users access to more than a million e-books, e-magazines and e-newspapers.
Barns and Noble already has its own eReader – the Nook in stores. The difference between the two eReader lies in their pricing. While the Nook is priced at $259, Samsung E6 would be retailing at $399. Below is a quick look at the specifications of the Samsung E6 -
- 6” E-ink display
- 600 x 800 resolution with 8-Gray scale
- E-pub, PDF/a, TXT, BMP and JPG format support
- text-to-speech (TTS)
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth 2.0
- microSD card support upto 16GB (internal memory 2GB)
E6 is a slider with all the control buttons and front speakers hidden under the screen. The Nook’s color display may pose a major competition within the partnership model for E6. The E6 houses a EmoLink technology which allows its users to share content between Samsung eReader devices. E6 comes with a electromagnetic resonance (EMR) stylus pen which allows its users to take notes on the compact touchscreen.
