Samsung Launches eBook Reader, the SNE-50K

It’s not anything spectacular by ebook reader standards, but it looks functional. It’s got a 5-inch touchscreen e-ink interface (with a stylus, ack), 512MB of memory and is only 9 millimeters thick. However, it doesn’t have any wireless capabilities, so it’s hard to get excited about it. Really hard. The Kindle has nothing to be worried about either because the SNE-50K is only slated for release in South Korea, although Samsung has promised to show of a prototype at CES.
