I guess there's Pandigital, but I don't really know the details on that one.

Sony has announced two (quite snazzy) tablets:

I'm not sure when they are going to be released.

It would be heaven to have an eInk and/or tablet reader manufactured by a third-party, reputable company that could not only read Kindle, Sony, Nook bought books, but allow you to seamlessly buy from their stores (and other stores) and combine the books into a single library. Of course the reader apps would have to be greatly improved by third-party developers rather than the lackluster apps released by the big players.
It will never happen for many reasons, but it is nice to dream.
