The Digital Reader

This is a new 5″ E-ink device that’s been announced for the Russian market, and it’s Qumo’s second e-reader. There’s no word yet on price, but it’s supposed to be available in June 2010. Here are the specs:

• 400 MHz CPU
• 5″ 16 level grayscale
• weight: 150g
• 256MB flash
• microSDHC
• FBReader
• headphone jack
• accelerometer
• FM-Tuner
• 1.1A Li-Po battery, 45 days standby

It looks like it could be interesting, but I’m not sure that having that many buttons is really a good idea. There is 0-9 on the left of the D-pad, and I’m not sure what’s on the right (image is too small). I think 2 are the page turn buttons, but I’m not sure.
