iRiver's prototype E-BOOk reader comes swathed in luxurious leather, features side-by-side dual touch sensitive e-ink screens, and uses AAA batteries for up to 6 months battery life (we didn't find out how many turns). From couple of pictures, it looks like iRiver also includes FM and MP3 playback in its new ebook gadget. iRiver still isn't even sure if they're going to launch this thing at home or abroad.

Too big of a deal, too much of a gadget just to read and it will probably be expensive gadget just to read ! No thanks. Sony has no worry here. What happens to simplicity? the Reader has the simplicity of just pick it up and go.
