Samsung E6 E-Reader Debuts on Barnes & Noble This Spring [6" Samsung E6 Price Announced, Packs Bluetooth & WiFi]

If any of you guys are interested in Samsung’s e-reader lineup, we have news that the company has officially announced their new Samsung E6 reader is to debut on Barnes & Noble, sometime this Spring. Although we can’t say the E6 is the best we’ve seen (in honesty we’d go for the Nook instead), the fact that Samsung slashed the rumored $399 price tag we heard of during CES 2010, to $299, makes it a bit more interesting.

“We are very excited to be entering the explosive eReader market with a device that brings the best of a traditional reading experience into the digital age,” said Reid Sullivan, Senior Vice President at Samsung Electronics America. “Samsung prides itself on identifying and fulfilling unmet consumer needs through innovation, and the eReader is emblematic of that approach. We are partnering with the best in the business to offer access to an extensive array of content, and have developed innovative features and technologies designed to make reading that content as personal and intimate an experience as reading a hard copy book has always been.”

For those out of the know, the new Samsung E6 e-reader can read e-pub, PDF/a, TXT, bmp and jpg file formats which are being displayed on a 6-inch E-ink display with 8-Gray scale for easy readability both indoors and out, and a 600 by 800 pixel resolution.

It comes with built-in front speakers and a headphone jack to plug it whenever you need some privacy, features the company’s text-to-speech (TTS) technology that will read text aloud. Other specs include Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) connectivity

On top of that there is a built-in MP3 player for your favorite audio content, and 2GB of storage space (expandable by 16GB via a microSD card) for you to store up to 1,500 books or 24,000 pages of memo.
