This is a bit of good news for those who're hankering for a new e-reader. Asus seems to be planning to release their DR-900 e-reader – which everyone was expecting next year. Now slated for a November 29 release, the problem is that it's supposed to only be released in Taiwan. Coming with a price tag of NT$12,000 or $390, it should be cheap enough to order it from abroad – comparing the new Kindle DX's $379 price.
Specs include a nice 9-inch SiPix e-paper display – definitely not the standard. It's also got 4 GB of internal storage and access to the Internet via integrated Wi-Fi and 3G, as well as an optional WiMax module. It's supposed to support PDF, TXT, MP3 and ePub file formats.
A great choice if you're looking for an e-reader – though you'll have to wait a little for it to reach American shores.
