Samsung Partners With Barnes & Noble On New E-reader

Posted at 7:50AM Wednesday 10 Mar 2010

Samsung's new e-reader devices have been kicking around for several months, but now we've gotten word that the 6-inch model—the E6—will be released in the U.S. in the April-May time frame with a MSRP of $299 and a tie-in to the Barnes & Noble's eBookstore.

The E6's claim to fame is that you can use it to take notes and you can mark up documents using a special electromagnetic resonance (EMR) stylus pen that's included with the device. Lose the stylus, though, and the touch features disappear, because you can't use your finger with this type of touch-screen display.
