China-based Hanwang has developed a new E Ink-based e-book reader, the N510. Unlike most other e-book devices which are based on an 6-inch screen, this one goes with 5-inch instead. Specs from the Chinese product website:

Dimensions: 152mm x 108mm x 11mm
Weight: 165g (including battery)
Screen Technology: E Ink
Display: 5" 800x600 pixels, 4 gray levels
Memory: 1GB SD Card (max. supported 2GB)
Supported Formats: TXT, HTML, PNG, JPG, PDF, XEB, CEB, MP3, MTXT
Battery: Li-ion 1500mAh, 3.7V
Battery Life: one charge lasts for > 15 days in standby, more than 7,000 pages
Interfaces: SD, mini-USB 1.1, headphone

Compare the N510 to other e-book readers, and you'll quickly notice how lightweight and portable it is. If you think the iRex Digital Reader is a marvelous device, but too big for your daily commutes, you may consider this one instead (assuming you are from China or that it will eventually make it overseas).

According to this store, the N510 is priced at around $200 ￥2,288.00 (~$330).

Thanks to James for the tip!
