It's been a long time coming, but word hit the street (in German) that Gembird is going to launch their EnerGenie ePP2 e-reader at the IFA conference next week. Actually, e-reader is not the right term. Rather they call it an "e-paper printer", based on its capability to function as a printer. It works by connecting the reader, uh, printer, to a computer via USB, where it's then being recognized as a printer. When you print a document, it will be automatically stored onto the device.

Down to the details:

Display: 9.7-inch E-Ink, 1600 x 1200 pixels
CPU: 800 MHz
RAM: 256 MB
Storage: 4 GB, expandable to up to 32 GB (microSD)
OS: Android Gingerbread (2.3.4)
Battery: 2350 mAh
Dimensions: 270 x 188 x 11.5 mm
Weight: 600 g
Price: rumored to be around EUR 399 and EUR 499

Below is a video showing the EnerGenie in action:
