Samsung Electronics will soon be launching two e-book readers Papyrus. It comes in two models – E6 with 6-inch and E101 with 10-inch “electronic ink” screens, similar to the sizes of Amazon’s Kindle models. The pricing is expected to be $399 and $699 respectively.
The Samsung Papyrus e-book readers will come with a stylus so users can write on the screen to annotate their favorite works or take notes. The handwriting capability is due to a built-in electromagnetic resonance (EMR) stylus pen with software options on how thick to draw or write on the screen.
The A5 paper-size Papyrus features a stylus and 512MB of memory. The e-book reader also includes handy applications: a memo pad, scheduler, calendar, world clock, calculator, and contact list.
