The announcement that Asus was getting into the eBook reader biz wasa fleck of a surprise , but not an unwished-for one . Now that new hands - on picture have hit Flickr , it looks like our initial ebullience was found .

What ’s most alluring about the DR-950 is still the sparseness — just .35 - inches despite the 9 - inch , 1024×768 display .
It ’s also one of the first mass food market pitch-dark and white eBook reader ’s I ’ve see that does n’t apply e - ink . Instead , Asus is using the unfortunately namedSiPix Microcup electronic paper , which purports to be more a more energy efficient alternative .
Other specs include 2 - 4 GB of storage , an Mount Rushmore State card expansion slot , Wi - Fi and HDSPA , a USB larboard and a 3.5 mm headphone jack . Pricing and timing are still up in the air .
aboveboard , there are a stack of these hitting the market these days , but given that pioneering Asus did in the early netbook day , we ’ll give them the welfare of the doubt that they ’re bringing something exciting . It sure enough front that means so far . [ Asus UK FlickrviaEngadget ]
