A few days ago Nate at the digital reader reported a new e-ink reader from a group of German publishers and a Deutsche Telecom.

It has a front-lit 6 inch HD screen (just like Kindle Paperwhite) with infra red touch, an SD card slot, runs on Android and reads epubs natively. It sells for 99Eur including VAT.

There is discussion at the German speaking part of the Mobileread here. They have even discussed posting on the English-speaking forum, but nobody has bothered so far. Sigh (JUST like they used to do with PocketBook readers).

I think that this is pretty exciting new reader.
It has many features that Kindle Paperwhite lacks and sells here in Europe for a very good price.

Specification is here:
