Details are a bit hazy on this one, but it looks like Taiwan-based Netronix Inc. is diving into serious e-book business. On their website you’ll find two featured e-book readers, the EB-100 with a 6-inch E ink screen, and the EB-300 with a spine-tingling 9.7-inch screen. The EB-100 looks very much like the other 6-inch e-book readers we’ve seen coming from the Far East, so let’s focus on the EB-300:

* Screen: 9.7″ E Ink e-paper, touch-enabled
* Resolution: 1200 x 825 pixels, 170 dpi, 4 grayscale
* Dimensions: 255mm(H )x 195mm(W) x 14mm(D)
* Memory: 4Gbit NAND type (Flash), 64MB (SDRAM)
* Storage: SD Card
* Connectivity: 802.11g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
* Power: 3.7V 2100mAh Li-ion
* Interfaces: 2x USB, 1x stereo
* OS: Windows 5.0
* E-book formats: TXT, PDF, RTF, HTML, BMP, JPG, GIF, PNG, MP3, AAC
