Samsung Unveils Its First e-Book For Reading, Writing And Sharing On-The-Go

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., today unveiled its first e-book at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., today unveiled its first e-book at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The 6-inch E6 and 10-inch E101 further solidify Samsung’s position as a global leader in display technology by raising the bar on the quality of writing capabilities for e-Book.

“We’ve used our expertise to create a high-quality e-Book with today’s on-the-go consumer in mind,” said Dominic Webb, General Manager, Display Division, Samsung Electronics UK and Ireland. “Samsung is addressing a common frustration that users experience with many of today’s e-Books by using an electromagnetic resonance pen to save them time when writing on their e-Book.”

Samsung’s new E6 and E1010 e-Books are equipped with an e-paper display similar to real paper to enable a clearer display even outdoors. Many other functions are also included to provide an effective reading environment. The global e-Book formats ePub, PDF and TXT are all supported, and the built-in dictionaries can be used just by touching the screen with the stylus.

A built-in MP3 player function allows users to listen to an audio book, or to listen to music whilst reading a book. In addition, Samsung’s unique “Text-to-Speech” engine can read a book with accurate pronunciations for users who are driving or in noisy environments.
Handwriting Recognition Capabilities

Unlike other e-Book devices, Samsung’s E6 and E101 use handwriting recognition to allow users to annotate their reading selections, calendars and notes with a built-in electromagnetic resonance (EMR) stylus pen. This dedicated pen prevents mistypes caused by hands and other objects that may graze the screen’s surface. A variety of pen and eraser thicknesses make the Samsung e-book perfect for drawing and writing. The E101, in particular, boasts additional functions such as calligraphy and edit functions (cut, copy and paste) with the stylus pressure sensitivity feature.

Wi-Fi Wireless
Samsung’s e-Book devices are equipped for wireless connectivity as well. Wi-Fi 802.11b/g allows users to download content such as books and newspapers from a server wirelessly, as well as to share content with other devices. The Samsung E6 and E101 will be available in the UK during March 2010.
