iriver Story e-reader hits pre-order status in Korea, gets priced

We’ve been keeping our eyes peeled for any news of iriver’s Story e-reader — and it looks like it’s on the verge of appearing in reality — at least in Korea. The company is now taking pre-orders for the 6-inch, QWERTY keyboarded device, which runs 358,000 KRW ( around $290). The reader will come packaged with a 2GB SD card, the book-impersonating folding case we’ve spied it wearing in the past, and two free book downloads. While we’ve heard that the reader will eventually get global, we’ve still yet to heard pricing or release dates for the US of A. Until then, we’ll just have to keep curled up on the sofa with our sad, dog-eared, public library copy of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.
