A few weeks ago they unveiled the iReader 2 and it will not only be available in China, but also Europe.
The iReader 2 features a 6.8 e-ink carta display with a resolution of 1440 X 1080. The other specs are unknown, but likely employs a dual core processor, 512 MB of RAM and at least 4GB of of internal storage, in addition to an SD Card.
iReader has confirmed that they are going to try and make this available in Europe later this year and will retail for 120 euros.
