Another day, another company pimping a slew of e-readers here at CES. Up next is Hanvon (http://www.engadget.com/tag/hanvon), with its WISEreader lineup (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/hanvon-debuts-new-line-of-wisereader-e-book-readers/) of 5-inch E-Ink display-based readers on display. They're pretty basic in both the design and functionality departments, with support for text, images, and audio in the usual array of formats -- including DRM'ed EPUBs. The N518 and N526 models both have touchscreens, though you'll need to use a stylus for handwriting and note-taking. Other than that, there wasn't really much of note, though we were told that there's a capacitive version in the works but it wasn't quite ready to bring out of their labs in Taiwan just yet. There's always next year.
