Thanks for the heads-up. A 5-inch e-ink touch screen is a novelty - I believe only larger Sony and iRex models have it.

A search on "Samsung reader SNE-50K" yielded a few good short notices - seems it's only S.Korea for now, priced at USD 274, in line with other 5 or 6 inch e-ink readers.

P.S. The note at jkOnTheRun (http://jkontherun.com/2009/07/27/samsung-sne-50k-e-book-read..., with stylus photo) ends with a fully deserved barb: "The Samsung reader features no wireless capability, unlike Amazon’s Kindle. Maybe that might be a good thing to protect reader’s content."
