The tech industry is full of copy cats; touchscreen phones, netbooks, you name it, one company comes up with the idea and are then copied shortly after. Don’t get me wrong, this is just how business works and is good for us consumers because it means cheaper prices. However, it does make the fact that Samsung is debuting their SNE-50K eBook reader a bit less surprising.

The SNE-50K will feature a 5-inch touchscreen, 512MB of storage and no WiFI or 3G connectivity. However, the device shipping in South Korea will be just 9mm thick and weigh 6.5 ounces and will be able to grab books from Kyobo Bookstore. Think South Korea’s Barnes & Noble.

Anyways, there’s no pricing or worldwide availability on the SNE-50K but we’ll keep you posted.
