Samsung E6 Reader: John Mahoney
Using an electromagnetic resonance stylus, one can write, draw and annotate while reading.
To fill them with words, Samsung has partnered with Google Books, which can deliver works from its massive archive via a Wi-Fi connection.
The E6 and E101 have six- and ten-inch screens and cost $400 and $700 respectively, available in "early 2010".

Now this is something I could get behind. The ability to write my own notes is key.
The only thing I hate about writing on these "tablets" and stuff, even with a stylus, is the feel of the stylus moving on the surface of the device. It's too slippery, doesn't have the grip or friction of writing on paper. Maybe it's just me, but until they fix that, I'll be writing all my correspondence on paper. Unless of course, I just decide to type it on the computer and email it instead. But you get my point.
no, a lot of people agree. and the industry knows.
Is anyone else thinking this? It seems like we are regressing in technology, or at least these e-readers are. It's like the really early modules of the Palm Pilot 5000. Oh yes, the ones you could buy with a collapsible key board and external modem. Anyways, it seems like alot of hype for a black and white slate with the ability to download books. Are they really that impressive???
its amazing to see how google has expanded over the years and its still continuing to grow by entering in to new ventures and partnerships.
it shows how strong their management team is!

This thing looks like an expensive childs etch-n-sketch. Apple's tablet reader, which comes out in two months, with a 10" screen, has this thing beat all to pieces. Now if Apple will just bring their $1,000.00 price tag down 3/4.
This thing looks so 1980's
Wow its simply superb and the features are great too.

I agree with Rpen's comment further up in the conversation - the feel of the stylus really doesn't agree with me, sort of like the chalkboard effect.
This is all 'old-hat' now given the introduction of the I-Pad and numerous other fantastic pieces of tech, but none-the-less, was an exciting post and time for the technology industry.
