E-book readers already turning to next page

It seems as if the hype over the "Kindle" has barely subsided, and already we're getting a glimpse into the next generation of e-book readers from overseas.
The EB-100 from Taiwan-based Netronix is an e-ink reader that features a touch screen and Wi-Fi networking, according to Gizmodo. Other specs seem fairly standard, including a 6-inch display that's the same size as Amazon's version, though GizmoWatch and some other blogs have mentioned a model with a 9.7-inch screen.
We welcome any and all advances in these devices as long as stop short of reading minds.
On the other hand, what I've heard about the e-ink display implies that they can get down to a pretty fine line and reasonably crisp detail, so guess I have to search for a better graphic somewhere...
