OWEN E1 e-reader gets outed for Chinese reading public
The e-reader onslaught continues, with Chinese company ONN (or Owen, if you will) outing its latest, the E-1 e-reader. Boasting a 5-inch E Ink screen, the making it smaller than its 6-inch rivals, the Kindle and Nook . It also supports MP3, WMA and OGG formats. That’s about all the information we have on this reader for now, and we don’t know anything about pricing or release, either. We’d be surprised, albeit pleasantly, to see the E-1 released outside of China.
