Samsung Papyrus June shipping in Korea
I'm not sure how reliable this news is as it doesn't reference Samsung directly and the source seems a bit questionable to me:

Quote:
Samsung's new, highly portable e-book reader, dubbed "Papyrus", will be available in Korea in June 2009 and in the UK and North America sometime later (likely within several months).

Details:Samsung Papyrus

* A5-sized
* touchscreen
* 512 MB internal memory
* Includes note-taker, world clock, calculator, and contacts functions
* Price $299 US

Unfortunately this new device lacks wireless capabilities and has no keyboard functionality, so it may have a tough time competing with Amazon's new Kindle 2, although the Papyrus is more portable.
Picked up by Slashdot so it may vanish shortly due to excessive traffic.

Is there a spec somewhere for this device? Especially about the supported formats?
