samsungs-e6.jpgAccording to The-eBook-Reader.com, the Samsung E6 is now available for pre-order from JR.com for $299. Pre-orders are expected to be up for the UK models, the E60 and E61, at any time from selected high street retailers for an expected £299 for the E60, no word on the E61.

The E6 models all feature 6-inch screens and the E101 has a 10-inch screen (no word yet on its release).

The most notable feature of the E6 and E60 is the bottom portion that slides down like some keyboards on cellphones. This area appears to house the speakers, navigation pad, and some additional buttons.

Other advanced features include built-in Wi-Fi, a touchscreen that works with a special electromagnetic resonance pen for writing freehand notes and scribbles on-screen, and a TTS feature that claims to turn any ebook into an audiobook.
