It looks like those once rumored ebook readers from Asus are going to become reality. Well, maybe not exactly like the prototypes (pictured here) that we first saw, but they still sound like they will be interesting, if not fully connected.

What we know so far is that Asus is planning to release a 6-inch and 9-inch model. Both of which will offer an E Ink display. Still unclear is to whether they will offer that dual-screen touch-friendly model. Additionally, is seems that the ebook readers will also come with 3G, WiMax and Wi-Fi support.

Unfortunately, most details, such as the brand are still unknown. However a full announcement is expected before the end of the year.

That said, Asus is expected to launch these ebook readers under the Eee branding. We also still have nothing in terms of price. But it would be safe to think that they will be priced competitively with the current kings including the Amazon Kindle and the Sony Reader. Of course we may be adding the Barnes & Noble Nook to that current kings list as well.
