Ah, remember that enTourage eDGe reader, or dualbook, that we reported about a while ago? Well, they just announced that they will be doing their own e-book store.

The eDGe won’t be available for February 2010, but you can purchase the books for your PC until then. I’ll definitely meet with them at CES in January 2010, though.

Early last month Sony officially announced that they were working on several low cost ereader offerings. Today, the company has let us know that the PRS-300 (Pocket Reader Edition) is now available for $199.

This eBook reader features a 5-inch screen USB 2.0, 512MB of internal memory and comes in blue, silver and rose.

Sure, it’s no Kindle but if you’re on a budget you should definitely check this out.

We told you some time ago that Barnes & Noble was gearing up to launch an ereader that would go up against Amazon’s Kindle but haven’t heard much about it since. Well the day has finally come that the Android powered Barnes & Noble Nook has been announced.

As you can see from the above picture this device features both an e-ink display for reading ebooks and a color touchscreen for easy navigation. Additionally, the device will feature both 3G connectivity (thanks to AT&T) and WiFi. What’s even better is if you hop on a WiFi network at a Barnes & Noble retail location you will be able to browse through entire ebooks for free. Storage wise you’ll find 2GB of internal space with a memory card slot located on the back.

You can pre-order the Nook now, here, for $259 here with orders being fulfilled in November.

In case you didn’t know, Barnes & Noble have big eBook reader plans for the near future. The company together with Plastic Logic plans to launch not one, but two eReaders in the following months. Besides the regular grayscale version Barnes & Noble wants to launch a color version too. Other rumors related to this Barnes & Noble reader say that the device will run Android OS and come with a unique feature: book lending. The reader should have WiFi connectivity only and it’s expected to arrive on October 20. That’s when Barnes & Noble has an event scheduled in NY for that day so that’s probably when we will find out more about this new eReader. Anyone interested?
