I respect what Barnes & Noble is doing with this multi-reader ebook strategy, and I'm glad Samsung's finally been brought in from the cold, into the warm presence of a real ebook collection, but $400 for this thing? Really?
A six-inch-screened device with a sliding keypad, the Samsung E6's biggest draw is probably its stylus, which allows for full, paper-style annotation and notetaking. But the dual-display Nook, which itself is considered one of the pricier e-readers, costs a full $140 less—a gap that'll stare every potential E4 buyer right in the face, since the two readers will be sold side-by-side in Barnes & Noble stores. I mean hell, E Ink is E Ink, and you could almost buy a spare Sony Reader Pocket Edition with that kind of money.
The Samsung E6 will arrive at Barnes & Noble Stores, awkwardly, in Spring. [MarketWatch]
