Samsung E6 and E101

According to Samsung, unlike other e-book devices, E6 (6-inch screen) and E101 (10-inch screen) enable handwriting directly onto the display, allowing users to annotate their reading selections, calendars, and to-do lists with a built-in electromagnetic resonance stylus pen. This dedicated pen prevents mistypes caused by hands and other objects that may graze the screen's surface, according to the company.

Both e-readers feature built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The E6 and E101 will be priced at $399 and $699, respectively, which is probably too high to make them a significant factor in the marketplace. They will be available in early 2010.
