The Samsung E6 with slider controls

Samsung just announced their entrance into the eReader foray with the E6 and E10 eBook readers and they’re certainly not aimed at the common consumer.

Samsung’s new E6 (a 6-inch) and E10 (a 10-inch) eReaders both feature touchscreens, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, but no 3G capability. Both allow for handwriting directly on the screen and a soft QWERTY keyboard. Samsung has also built in a nifty slider that gives the user access to Home, Menu, Back, Link and directional controls. Google has also been announced as a content partner.

The E6 and E10 are expected to be onsale “early 2010″ and cost you a whopping $399 for the E6 and $699 for the E10. Unless these eReaders come complete with an Alchemist’s guide on how to change lead into gold we don’t see Samsung storming the market.
