When is a qwerty keyboard a bad idea? When it’s on the Samsung E61 e-book reader. The problem with this thing isn’t just the ugly keyboard, or the fact that it’s obviously “inspired” by the Kindle, it’s that the Samsung E6 looks promising.
The E61 has a lovely (meaning ugly) clear keyboard, but other then that it’s almost identical to the E6. It has the same 600×800 screen and removable battery, but it navigates without the sliding tray, through physical keys on the face of the unit. The folks at PC Professionale got a hands on with the new device first, and they seemed to like it. We’ve got not word on the actual release date or how much it’s going to cost yet, but it’s probably safe to assume the E61 will be out this year along with the E6.

Awesome. An eBook reader with an industry standard group head. It’s good to know that whatever I read with the Samsung will have perfectly consistent temperatures.
Now this one looks awful, impressively is that an e-ink screen? or its just under grayscale mode? lol
Anyway, I’ll stick to the one released by Asus, the one with some Jessica Alba wallpapers..
Am I the only one who noticed that it was at CES?

I didn’t see it – but then again, i had e-reader blindness from seeing so many.
PC Professionale got a sample, why don’t you try to get one and test it. Maybe it’s just easier to write 2 paragraphs, a snarky headline and add a link to someone else’s shit.
it look good but I think I like Kindle Reading of Amazon more than.
This e-book reader looks awesome. When it will be launched? What would be the price?
