Acer LumiRead 600 eBook Reader for Fall

From Wireless Goodness:

Acer unveiled its LumiRead eBook reader back in May, and today the device made the rounds on the FCC. Unfortunately, FCC documents don’t reveal much, but today’s filings do suggest that the company is on track for the planned Q3 release date of the LumiRead.

The LumiRead will support Barnes & Noble’s eBook store, as well as Llibri.de, a German eBook retailer. The device, which has a 6 inch screen, offers 2GB of flash memory and expandability through microSD.

Acer mentioned that 3G and WiFi versions of the LumiRead will be released. However, today’s FCC filings only mention WiFi – no mention is made of 3G wireless data, yet.
