This is a new ereader for the Australian market.
The Kogan ebook reader sports a 6-inch e-ink screen and is Linux based. Some of the other features:
- e-ink display: 800 x 600 resolution; 16 grayscales
- Ram: 64 MB DDR2

- Internal memory: 2GB

- 5 font sizes
- Comes pre-loaded with over 1,500 classic books – including Australian titles
A leather cover, earphones and USB cable/charger are included, as is a one-year warranty (looks like the warranty on the items Kogan sells is only good in Australia).
The Kogan ereader is expected to ship towards the end of next month at a price of $189 AUD (about $165 USD) with free shipping. Kogan is taking pre-orders now.
This looks like a rebranded ereader made by China-based Acuce Co. (model number CL-EBK007), if I’m not mistaken. Edit: Oops! Acuce is a distributer, this ereader is from Gajah International.
Kogan Technologies is an online only consumer electronics retailer based in Melbourne. The company was founded by Ruslan Kogan in 2003 while he was still in university, which appears to be a bit of an interesting story.
