Kyobo's eReader is the world's first color Mirasol (5.7", 1024x768) e-reader, which is shipping in Korea for around $300. Here's a nice hands on video showing the device in action:

Flex Lighting developed a new thin front-light LED film. The new film uses a single LED and is only 50 micron thick, and can be easily integrated (at least according to the company) inside the e-reader, and will not interfere with the touch layer. Here's a short video showing it in action:

The Boox M92 is a fast (800Mhz processor) 9.7" (1200x825) E Ink pearl e-reader with a touch display (with Wacom input). While waiting for this reader to launch on December 8th, here's a long (17 minutes) hands on video from Boox:

Amazon announced some pretty exciting (but not surprising) new devices for us. Firstly they introduced the new Kindle Touch e-readers that feature 6" Pearl E Ink displays and an infra-red touch sensor. The Kindle Touch will launch on November 21st, but you can order it today. The Wi-Fi version costs $99 with screensaver ads and $139 without ads. The 3G version costs $149 (ads) or $189 (ads-free).

The second e-reader is the non-touch Kindle 2011 - which is a streamlined version of the older Kindle 3 - with only 5 physical buttons (beside the next/prev ones, anyway). The Wi-Fi Kindle 2011 is shipping now: $79 for the ad-supported version and $109 for the non-ads variant.

Fujitsu is showing a new color e-paper eReader prototype - with a 4096 colors, 8" display (157 PPI that offers 8:1 contrast ratio. This is a linux-based system with a new fast processor (refresh rate of 0.7 seconds) and ePub and PDF support. It weights only 220 grams.

Panasonic is showing a new e-reader prototype (called UT-PB1). This is a color e-reader/tablet with a 7" LCD (1024x600) display, Wi-Fi and webcam running on Google's Android OS.

It turns out that the Nook Touch (which starts shipping today) has a hidden web browser. Well, it's not really hidden (there's a search button on the bottom of the Nook's home screen) - but it wasn't revealed by B&N up until now. It's not perfect as it can't load a lot of pages (and it's slow on the E Ink display of course):

The Nook Touch Wi-Fi is now shipping for $139.
