A lot of e-book readers are thin. That's because most of them are just focused on doing one thing and don't have a need for any extras to be considered good. However, Bookeen seems to be going for the "thinnest e-book reader" title with their latest release. The Orizon is a 6″ e-reader with a SiPix ePaper display with a 600 x 800 resolution, 2GB of internal storage, and external storage up to 8GB supported via microSD. It pretty much only supports Adobe ePUB format so it's pretty limited. However, the big selling factor is the fact that it's only 0.29" thick – thinner than most paperbacks or, even, newspapers.
It's already hit the shelves and has a price tag of $249 and comes in black and white versions.
