Here are a couple more new ereaders that have been announced recently.

Asus DR-900

The Asus DR-900 ereader has been on display at CeBit 2010 this week in Germany.  This one has a 9-inch touchscreen SiPix display and comes with Wi-Fi and optional 3G.  Battery life is said to be 10,000 page turns.  Text-to-Speech is planned, though its availability will depend on the publishers allowing its use.  The DR-900 will come with 2GB to 4GB internal storage and an SD card.  So far details on availability are somewhat sketchy.

Charbax has a video of the DR-900 from CeBit.

 

KeyReader

The KeyReader is being marketed by iCell, which is a wireless network providerKeyReader-Ereader in Singapore.  This appears to be a rebranded Onyx Boox (like the Bebook Neo), and has the same features.  One nice twist is that the KeyReader will be able to access over 900,000 free ebooks from the National Library Board.  The price is said to be between $399 – $499 (Singapore dollars).
